A new festival - TexFest - has been announced to happen at Market Harborough Showground, Leicestershire from Friday 29th June to Sunday 1st July 2018.

Promising "a host of chart-topping acts in the setting of the Leicestershire countryside", the leading name(s) announced today are Example & DJ Wire, who'll perform on the Saturday. Also announced today are Reggie N Bollier who found fame on X-Factor and they’re now signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco Records. They’ll be at the festival whipping the youngsters (and some of the parents) into a frenzy.

Festival Director, Shaun French, commented, “We’re delighted to announce Example & DJ Wire as our first act on the bill and we’ve got some other really exciting artists to announce soon, which we’re sure will keep a lot of people very happy! To put on an event like this in Market Harborough will be fantastic for the local area next summer and we’re really excited about what’s to come!”

For local and regional acts that would like to get up there on stage at the festival, the organisers will soon be announcing their application and audition procedure. Shaun French added, “It’s really important to us to involve the local music scene in the event. We want to be able to give some of our best local bands the opportunity to play alongside big names and we’ll be announcing more details on that very soon.”

Early bird weekend tickets are on sale, currently priced at £90 for an adult for the weekend (full price £120), with camping priced at £30 extra.
