MORE names have been added to the lineup of a new festival.
Cheshire will welcome names such as Scouting for Girls and Bonnie Tyler when it hosts the first edition of Brit Fest this summer.
Now, organisers have revealed the full lineup for the ABC+ Warranty Stage, which will feature a range of rising stars and local talent.
Manager and curator of the stage, Jon Belfield, said: “I’m really excited to present this fantastic line-up for the ABC+ Warranty Stage, and I know festivalgoers are going to absolutely love the programme we have created.
“While The Brit Fest main stage will see sets from star names in the global music industry, the ABC+ Warranty Stage offers us the chance to connect with the community and to present and celebrate up-and-coming talent and some of the brilliant artists we have in the region.
“This is a really important part of the festival’s core ethos.”

There is also a trio of comedians on the lineup – Geordie Geoff, Perry Reilly and Michael Frankland.
Elsewhere at the festival, guests can enjoy watching TimberJacks Axe Throwing, the Royal Marines and Commando experience and the Extreme Mountain Bike Show featuring five-time British and European Champion Danny Butler.
