Black Country’s biggest family music festival comes to Himley Hall!

The biggest family music festival in the Black Country will come to Himley Hall for one-day only on Sunday 28th July.

Scouting For Girls, Becky Hill and Kimberly Wyatt will be the headline acts on the main stage for SummerFest 2019, which was last year headlined by Lemar.

Scouting For Girls shot to global fame in 2007 when their debut, self-titled album went triple platinum, with hits like “She’s So Lovely” and “Heartbeat” capturing the hearts of the country and fans all over the World.

They will be joined on the main stage by Bewdley-born pop superstar, Becky Hill, international DJ & former Pussycat-Doll Kimberly Wyatt and local star, Charlie Live.

The day will also include an under-5’s zone complete with sandy beach, free activities for families, a food village, four bars provided by Sadler’s Brewhouse, shops and market stalls, a large fairground, and performers all around the festival site throughout the event. The main stage and festival ground will be hosted by the official SummerFest radio partners, Signal 107.

All of the money raised at the huge charity festival will be donated to the Mary Stevens Hospice.

Laura Millard, Event Organiser, Mary Stevens Hospice Group said: “To be able to bring so many top artists to the area under the banner of the Hospice really is such a privileged position and we’re so grateful to all of our partners who are making this incredible experience possible for our local community!

It’s going to be the biggest music event that our Black Country has ever seen and we can’t wait to see thousands of families there enjoying the day with us!”

Dicky Dodd, Signal 107 Breakfast show presenter and host of SummerFest 2019, said: “We really are talking about some of the most iconic and recognisable names in music and it’s very exciting to be working with so many fantastic organisations to put this event on.

It’s going to be just the most fantastic day and we as a station are proud to be a part of it for the third year running.”

Under-5’s can attend the event completely for free and attendees are encouraged to bring camping chairs, blankets and provisions to stay for the whole day.

Tickets can either be purchased in advance or on the day and both tickets and further information are available at: seaty.co.uk/summerfest2019.
