Loyd Grossman and his band The New Forbidden return for the third time to Cornbury Music Festival as part of the line-up for this year's Riverside Stage.

The American-British television presenter, and gastronome said, "It's hard not to like Cornbury. An eclectic and exciting line up, a beautiful setting and terrific catering make it one of the UK's most stimulating and enjoyable festivals."

They are just one act on this year's line-up for The Riverside Stage which is run by the team behind Oxfordshire’s popular Riverside Festival in nearby Charlbury.

The main stage line-up is topped by Tom Jones, Supertramp founder, singer-songwriter Roger Hodgson, and Razorlight, plus there will be music from The Fratellis, Chas & Dave, Blue, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Billy Ocean, Lulu, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, Jack Savoretti, The Felice Brothers, John Cooper Clarke, Larkin Poe, Paper Aeroplanes, Hank Wangford & The Lost Cowboys, The Shires, Ward Thomas, Joanne Shaw Taylor, The James Hunter Six, Moulettes, Only The Young, Staxs, Horns of Plenty, C.C.
