The Line up:

Toploader are an English alternative rock band from Eastbourne who formed in 1997, 
with over two million album sales to their name and a string of top 20 hits both home and abroad. Their debut album, 
Onka's Big Moka, sold over one million units and remained in the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart for over six months. However, 
they are recognised most of all for their cover of King Harvest's song "Dancing in the Moonlight", 
which became a global hit for the band. Their second album, Magic Hotel, reached number 3 in the UK Albums Chart.

The Hoosiers are Irwin Sparkes, Martin Skarendahl and Alphonso Sharland. 
Their first single Worried About Ray reached number five on the UK singles chart and the band have sold more than a million records, including one of 2007's biggest albums, 
The Trick to Life. The band are now back on tour and are a great live act, 
perfect for a summer night in our fantastic setting.
Opening the festival is upcoming local band Skies on Fire
The band are Tobias Lock, Elijah Miller, Jack Keenan and Coby Miller and 
they write all their own music - meaningful, guitar-led acoustic pop-rock. 
The band cite John Mayer, The Who, Mumford and Sons, Lawson and Feeder as influences.
