Saturday 14th August – Line up so far
With the two main stages offering great musical performances throughout the day, our main headliner on Saturday evening is the mighty Kissmet, back by popular demand after their storming performance in 2017. They are a superb bhangra rock fusion band offering a roller coaster ride of positive energy! The arena will also be alive with poetry, magic, circus skills, dance, arts and crafts, live performances and loads of opportunities to take part along the way. Let your imagination run wild!
kissmet
Kissmet has taken Bhangra music and fused it with Western rock music from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Cream. The result is a pulsating, exciting rollercoaster ride of positive energy from the West to the East and back again. A Kissmet performance always gets an incredible reaction, and the vibe and atmosphere are like nothing you will have experienced elsewhere!
silent disco
Of course…. no party would be complete without a DJ! You can be sure that whatever vibe you are looking for, the silent disco will be a fabulous way to lose yourself in the music – whilst giving onlookers a good laugh!
All the equipment is cleaned and fully checked before each use and offers excellent sound quality.
fusion dance
The fantastic Fusion Dance groups will open the festivities on Saturday. Look out for their dance workshops throughout the day too.
