The event is set to build on last year's success, with further entertainment, an additional outdoor stage, a family area and 2 full days of music from 11am - 11pm on both days.

Presented in partnership with three of Leicester's most loved music venues, The Donkey, Firebug and The Musician, the festival is a celebration of local talent with some more nationally-recognised complementing the line-up.

De Montfort Hall General Manager Antony Flint stated, "I'm delighted that Simon Says is returning in 2014. After such a successful sell out first event we've been in talks with the partner venues to make sure this year's event retains that special local feel but gives the fans more of what they want. It's also a wonderful opportunity for some of Leicester's best talent to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and play on De Montfort Hall's stage.
