An earlybird ticket offer is available until 31 May whilst U16’s go free making it an ideal event for all the family.
Headline act this year is The Los Palmas 6 who are a 7 piece, incredibly authentic - Madness Tribute Band, playing only Madness songs without diluting their set with ska covers!
Initially LP6 consisted of 6 members (which is where their name came from - a twist on the Madness single, ‘The Return Of The Los Palmas 7’) and in 2006 they grew to the fully authentic 7 piece by adding their very own Chas Smash on vocals and trumpet. They play all the classic hits and some superb B-sides.
The LP6 Sax player Steve Turner played sax with Madness for eight years and recorded three albums with them. Both Lee Thompson and Woody from Madness have played with Los Palmas 6 making them the most accurate and authentic Madness Tribute Band on the circuit.
Playing all the hits right up to today, including ‘Baggy Trousers, One Step Beyond, Nightboat to Cairo, Lovestruck and It Must Be Love’ etc. They’ve worked hard to recreate the authentic sounds of Madness, the LP6 are unquestionably the best Madness tribute band in the world!
Also performing are Felix and the Funk, a unique party band who deliver a killer set of the funkiest tunes ever.
From funk to soul, dance to disco, reggae to rock and pop, we’ve got it covered. Playing massive floor-fillers from the last 6 decades there’s something to get everyone on their feet. They are sure to make the party happen!
The local acts include Bleep Machines, Boogie Me and Mixtape with a few more still to be added.
In addition to the music, Wrde Up has something for the whole family. Danters Funfair will be providing various funfair activities, whilst the Swindon Reptile Rescue returns to Wrde Up, bringing along a selection of animals to see, touch and hold.
Wrde Up will also welcome back Danzone (a young, fresh and contemporary dancing school) who will bring a fun “join in” dance session as well as performance from their troup.
Wrde Up has catering from within the area bringing a variety of food to the festival. These include the Andrews Meats BBQ, Pizza from the Highworth Pizzaria, Cakes and Sweets from Outsauce and Homemade Icecream from Manic Munchies.
