Festival organiser Tony Scott is delighted, "It's great to have Tulisa back again, she’s a real hit with the crowds at GuilFest!"

Performing Dire Straits greatest hits and formed by original members of Dire Straits, Alan Clark and Chris White, The Straits will support Jools Holland & His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra on the Main Stage on Friday. Expect popular classics such as 'Sultans of Swing', 'Money for Nothing', 'Walk of Life', 'So Far Away', and 30 million selling album title track 'Brothers In Arms'.

The mash up singer's version of 'Swag' has had over 50 million views on Youtube, and her first single, 'Swagger Jagger' hit the Number 1 spot in the UK singles chart, and her debut album 'Sticks and Stones' reached Number 4 in the UK albums chart.

Headlining The Second Stage on Saturday will be electro pioneer Gary Numan who last brought 'Cars' and 'Are ‘Friends' Electric?' to GuilFest in 2006.

Also making a return to Stoke Park, Guildford in Surrey to bring their unique Gallic twists of post punk hits are Nouvelle Vague who will be supporting Gary Numan on The Second Stage on Saturday. Their covers of hits such as XTC's 'Making Plans for Nigel', The Undertones' 'Teenage Kicks', and New Order's 'Blue Monday' are sure to delight the crowd again just as they did during their last visit in 2009.
