Fristok Festival

Fristock has been running for five or six years now, and involves a large, open space surrounded by glorious Leicestershire countryside on what will hopefully be a balmy summer’s evening, add a stage, a PA, a bar, a barbecue and a gang of like-minded people to the mix and you should end up with a splendid night’s entertainment - and opportunities for local bands to raise their profiles before an audience of several hundred music lovers.

The Summer Sundae Festival

On Friday night, everyone's favourite Brummie rapper Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, is set to get the Weekender off to a rousing start with his distinctive blend of pop suss, urban cool and lyrical genius.

Another musical heavyweight arrives on Saturday, with the legendary and much-loved The Charlatans returning to the live arena in spectacular fashion to reclaim their shiny pop throne.

And, to round things off, Sunday sees not one, but two amazing headliners – The Zutons, who have long enthralled audiences with their beautifully whimsical, madly addictive art-pop, and folk maestro Bon Iver , who crafted one of the most heartbreakingly perfect albums of 2008 with For Emma, Forever Ago . You can also see

Saint Etienne + Bon Iver + Beardyman + Baddies + First Aid Kit + The Kabeedies + The Noisettes + The Joy Formidable + Micachu & The Shapes + Karima Francis + Imelda May + Dan Black + James Yuill + Woodpigeon + Teitur + Jim Jones Revue
