SIR Bob Geldof’s band, The Boomtown Rats, is to perform at the Watchet LIVE Festival.
The news comes as WatchetLive CIC announce the first round of bands who have signed up to play at the August Festival.
Big Country, The Blow Monkeys, Dr & The Medics, John Otway, ‘Wild’ Willy Barrett, Merry Hell, Tankus The Henge are also among those who have been announced to be playing at the festival.
Once again taking place on the August Bank Holiday Weekend, Friday 28 to Sunday 3, Watchet LIVE Festival will showcase the very best music, food and entertainment from the Westcountry and beyond.
Camping and campervan option early-bird tickets are on sale at Early Bird prices until March 31 when the remaining headliners will be announced.
Following the success of last year’s soldout event (the festival’s third in a row), Watchet LIVE Festival has made financial donations to local groups including The Children’s Hospice South West, West Somerset Brass band, and the local ‘Stand Against Speed’ young driver’s awareness campaign.
