THE first line-up announcement has been made for a music festival taking place next summer and it deserves some doof-doofs.
Headlining the announcement is Barry from EastEnders – aka Shaun Williamson. He will be making his FiFest debut with Barrioke show, which sees him brings people on stage and the crowd sings along with a giant karaoke screen.
The Maidenhead event is a family-friendly festival that features a range of performers, and takes place on Saturday, July 8.
Joining Barry will be British chart toppers The Feeling. They are known for hits as Fill My Little World, Love It When You Call, and Never Be Lonely.
Other acts announced in this initial wave of names including !Daft!, Elite Elton, Third Lung, The Boxteles, and DJ oneF.
There will be a special area for children, including entertainment, crafts, free shows, a giant sandpit and fairground rides. Baxter the T-Rex making an appearance throughout the day.
And the event has something for foodies as well, with stall holders serving drinks, ice creams and sweat treats.
Festival organiser Lee Page said: “We can’t wait to get the event underway next year, seeing friends and family get together for a huge party in the summer is the highlight of the events calendar.
“Every year the festival is getting bigger and better and we really appreciate the support we get from Fi.Festers.
“We can’t wait to have the full release out and have everyone get together.”
