first acts for Ashton Court

The first acts have been announced for the Orange Ashton Court Festival, which is held at the Ashton Court Estate, Bristol on Saturday 22nd / Sunday 23rd July.

The main headliners are Simple Minds, and the festival will also see sets from The Go! Team, Planet Pendulum, Dreadzone, Plan B, Blackbud, and Nathan Fake, with full line-up details expected to be announced at the end of June.

Festival organiser, Steve Hunt, said: “We have been incredibly lucky to book one of Britain’s biggest and most established rock acts to play at the festival this year. Simple Minds have been around for almost 30 years and have had some massive hits. Over the years, the festival has had some pretty big and diverse acts, and Simple Minds definitely rank alongside any others. We are very excited about an act this size playing at the festival.”

Festival-goers can save money by buying their tickets in advance for just £7 per day, subject to a booking fee, with children aged 14 and under remaining free.
