Heal Festival begins its first wave of artist announcements with ex Kasabian front man – Tom Meighan!

Tom Meaghan

Tom Meighan has made a resurgent return following his dramatic departure from indie rock mammoths Kasabian. From producing new critically acclaimed material to supporting Noel Gallagher on his massive tour, Tom has had time to make amends and ‘Heal’ – and will be gracing the main stage performing all his hits from Kasabian and recent solo efforts.

Heal Festival will return on September 20th – 21st at the West Mid Showground, Shrewsbury. It will again feature multiple stages and arenas, activities for all age groups, fairground attractions, games, delicious street food, a newly announced Caribbean-inspired zone, and a wellness village to which the festival in part gets its name. In addition to music, free wellbeing demos and children’s activities will also take place throughout the weekend.

Ian Bebbington showground CEO said: ‘We were exceptionally proud of the turnout for last year’s show. Whilst many events are seeing a reduction in numbers due to the cost of living crisis and over-saturation of the market, we have seen our audience jump up.

Tom Meighan marks the beginning of our artist announcements, with many headliners yet to come. Whilst a single man doesn’t define a band, Tom is undoubted to many the voice of Kasabian – we welcome him to Heal not because he’s an amazing performer and has an amazing back catalogue of music, but because this is what we are all about, bringing people together, to help make amends for the past – to help build a positive future’

We are looking for more partners and organisations within the charity / third sector to get involved in the event. Its a powerful platform that has the face of a contemporary music and wellness festival and the spirit of a community group so therefore can reach and be a force for good to all parts of our communities whilst maintaining hopefully a edgy image. We are community focused hence why the entry fees are subsidised to offer the best value as possible – LIMITED earlybird tickets are on sale now’

September 20th – 21st marks the third edition of the show. It will be incorporating new areas to the festival. More artist announcements are expected daily over the coming two weeks.

2024’s show will take place at the West Mid Showground, Shrewsbury September 20th – 21st 2024.

LIMITED EARLYBIRD TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FROM JUST £25.

The show is open to all ages (conditions apply).
