Speaking of the line-up, curator Rob Da Bank said: “Common People was one of my most fun festival weekends of 2015, and believe me there was some competition! So, I’m really excited to share our first announcement, with some corkers from Craig David to one of my all-time faves Public Enemy, and up-and-coming acts Jamie Lawson and Kurupt FM. Hope you can come and sing along with the Common People!”
The festival also promises a number of fantastic food outlets this year, as well as several family-fun areas, such as an arts and crafts outlet, a kids area and a bouncy castle.
