GET READY TO ROCK AT WICKET FEST!
MOVE over Leeds Festival because another rock event is taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
The first Wicket Fest is happening at Morley Cricket Club on Sunday, August 28 and as well as hosting a line-up of great bands it will be raising money for two charities - Help For Heroes and Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All.
The day promises to have something for everyone with a family fun day turning into a much heavier rock affair later in the evening.
Local actress Diane Harrison, who has appeared in Coronation Street and Shameless, has been lined up as MC for the event, cricket club member Ryan Dowse will be DJing and Stagecoach stage school and Street Beat Scene dance group will be keeping the crowds entertained in between acts. Sarah James will be keeping the children busy with acting classes and games.
The full line-up has been confirmed and the day will kick off with tribute band Take That and Scream followed by Sarah James, Skyline, Gemma Hopton, Dylan Brierley, Elliotts Incentive, Dragen, Honeycomb Love, Reverbed and the headliners, rockers King Nothing.
Iraq war veteran Simon Brown will be opening the festival at 1pm.
Organisers are on the look-out for sponsors who could provide services and support on the day. Anyone who wants to get involved can contact Lee Jagger on 07803 245605.
