Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals

Festival line-up update: Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Brighton Pride, T In The Park and more

By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 7 May 2013

So, as you may have just read, Vincey P’s Hop Farm festival was cancelled last Friday because of sub-par ticket sales, which is a real shame for it, and for the ‘festival landscape’ in general. But still, today’s FLUU show must go on, and go on it does, alighting first at a happier occasion, Brighton’s Pride festival.

Mutya Keisha Siobhan are going to be making their first major PA as a trio in ages at it, and say they’re “SO excited” to have been added to a bill that also stars Paloma Faith, Ms Dynamite, Alison Moyet and Stooshe.

Pride programmer Dulcie Danger adds: “MKS will be performing some new material as well as some of the Sugababes biggest hits live on our fabulous main stage. I can’t tell you how excited we are about it, they are truly an iconic pop act and are going to make a huge impact on the day”.

Yay! And now, please have a seat and take in the following info on artist additions to York’s Galtres festival, Kendal Calling, Manchester’s Parklife, Radio 1’s most big of Big Weekends, this year’s still-acquisitive T In The Park and, last but not least, Wychwood:
