Organisers of the festival at Myrtle Park have promised this year’s event will be “bigger and better.”

Ian Bairstow, Bradford Council’s director of environment and sport, said: “Last year the festival attracted 42,000 people to Bingley over the weekend. The festival is fast becoming a ‘not to be missed’ event which shows how popular it has become since it started in 2007.

“The bands revealed so far are fabulous and demonstrates how the festival is developing. More bands will be announced soon and will add to what is expected to be a very credible line up once again.”

Now in its fifth year the event is fast becoming one of the UK’s best loved festivals that attracts top names but within an affordable price bracket.
