Joining the previously announced Nile Rodgers & Chic & Soft Cell, today Rochester Castle Concerts complete their line up of headliners with Sugababes & Fat Freddy’s Drop performing across 4 nights in the grounds of Rochester Castle, Kent. The festival is now in it’s 3rd year and firmly established as a must see Summer event in the South East & Greater London. 

 

Sugababes became one of the most successful British girlbands of the 21st century with six Number One singles, millions of global sales and multiple, multi-platinum albums. Along the way they told one of the most spectacular stories of the modern pop era, but it all started with one song, three voices and a mysterious white label 7”. Fast forward two decades, the original line up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy arrived back in full force.

 

Fat Freddy’s Drop is internationally regarded as one of the world’s finest live draws. The seven piece band has navigated its way from the incubator of sunshine reggae through a colour-saturated field of soul psychedelia before swerving onto a desolate Detroit super highway at night. This euphoric vibe  demands to be heard live, a potent mixture of jazz virtuosity and diaphragm-wrecking digital sonics.

 

Other bands added to the 4 day festival line up include: Incognito, New Hope Club, Gentleman’s Dub Club, Lee Field’s. Ibibio Sound Machine & Louis Baker (More to be announced)

 

Just 35 minutes by train from London's St Pancras station, Rochester Castle stands on the East bank of the River Medway in the pretty Cathedral Town of Rochester, Kent.  The beautiful 12th-century tower is one of the best preserved in England. Rochester served as a strategically important royal castle. Set in stunning gardens, the English Heritage property will once again, be opening it’s doors to  welcome music lovers this Summer.
