By Neil Greenway | Published:


Cornbury Music Festival, which takes place at Cornbury Park, Charlbury, Oxfordshire on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July has confirmed the acts for this year.

The Saturday is headlined by David Gray who'll perform a special acoustic set, and the Sunday by Blondie.

Also confirmed for the Saturday are The Waterboys, The Proclaimers, Scott Matthews, Hothouse Flowers, and Imelda May on the Main Stage, and on The Word Stage are Echo and the Bunnymen, The Broken Family Band, Bettye LaVette, with Dan Reeder performing between the other acts.

Sunday has The Feeling, Suzanne Vega, Midlake, and Osibisa on the Main Stage, and the Oxford Folk Festival Stage has Seth Lakeman, Flook, T & Latouche, Indigo Moss, and Rafael & Lola.

Cornbury organiser Hugh Phillimore says "Cornbury is going from strength to strength and we’re hoping for another sold out year. We’re very excited by our diverse line up and our ongoing partnership with The Word and Oxford Folk Festival. Although the festival market gets busier every year I hope that the unique atmosphere of Cornbury continues to attract both our loyal local crowd and the mixed age audience that come from across the country to our beautiful location."

In addition to the music, the festival offers a variety of attractions including a fairground, theatre workshops, arts and crafts, speciality shops, novelty acts and upmarket catering offering everything from champagne and cappuccinos to real ale.

The campsite opens at 2pm on the Friday, and closes at midday on the Monday. Gates open at 10am each day, with the music starting at midday and ending at 11pm.

Tickets are on sale, priced at £80 for the weekend without camping and £90 with camping, and day tickets cost £45 - click here to buy.
