On the Sunday night The South will be bringing the main stage to a close with classic songs such as 'A Little Time', 'Perfect 10', 'Rotterdam', 'Old Red Eyes', 'Good as Gold', and 'Don't Marry Her'.

On Monday the main stage is headlined by the previously announced, The SoulTrain - the band specialising in Northern Soul, Motown and classic sixties’ soul, with support from Merry Hell, Jeramiah Ferrari, Nina Baker, Sky Valley Mistress, Rime Suspex, and Josh Kemp.
