Jon McClure of Reverend And The Makers will be curating the Devonshire Green Stage, this is what he had to say about the event,
“As soon as I heard about the festival, I was desperate to get on board. I knew we’d need something special, so I talked to Drew and Lee and they agreed to reform The La’s at the event. That was my big (but not only) festival surprise.
On top of that, though, I wanted to showcase some of the great bands coming out of Sheffield, so as well as myself and The La’s you’re gonna see some Sheffield bands that deserve to be seen.
It’s gonna be legendary.”
