Miles Hunt confirms Wychwood Festival

The final crop of bands have been confirmed for Wychwood Festival's second stage, the Big Top along with a handful of comedy acts under the guiding hand of curator and Comedy Store Player Andy Smart.

Taking place from May 30 to June 1 at Cheltenham Racecourse, Wychwood Festival has been applauded for its diverse and eclectic line-up, its true family-friendly atmosphere and programming and its commitment to social, political and environmental issues.

Year four of the boutique festival is set to be the best ever with even more comedy confirmed and an exciting programme of workshops and non-music attractions, to be announced closer to the festival.

The Wonder Stuff frontman Miles Hunt is set to bring his unique stage show to Wychwood, alongside long-term band member Erica Nockalls.

Bringing the traditional sound of equatorial villages, with a unique urban twist, London-based Kasai Masai, led by Voodoo King Nickens Nkoso have been confirmed for Friday¹s Big Top line-up while English folk duo and previous BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners Spiers & Boden join the Big Top¹s Saturday line-up.

Also confirmed for Saturday in the Big Top are South African singer, songwriter and film composer Chris Letcher and his band and pioneers of British-Asian fusion Kissmet, who effortlessly blend elements of bhangra, raags, rock and funk to create a truly unique blend of grassroots Anglo-Indian music.

Last but by no means least, the sublime 3 Daft Monkeys return to Wychwood for the second consecutive year and will be the Big Top¹s penultimate band of the weekend on Sunday night.

The last of the additions to the mainstage line-up is Oxford music don Richard Walters who will be performing his stunning, sometimes autobiographical masterpieces.
