Year on year the festival grows but doesn’t lose the personal touch put in by all of those behind the scene. Jointing the line up for the weekend is The Jacksons, Lily Allen, James, Sparks, All Saints and many more. Musically the bill is more diverse than ever with a disco-themed fun on Sunday topped by The Jacksons and Prince’s former backing band, the New Power Generation, who will play in the shadow of the world’s largest disco ball which will be suspended over the park and the planet’s largest bouncy castle!
