Last year the event saw around 10,000 flock to the Common with revellers dancing to the sounds of former Frankie Goes To Hollywood lead vocalist Holly Johnson, heartthrobs from the era Rick Astley and Jason Donovan, Fine Young Cannibals frontman Roland Gift and former teen icon Tiffany.

Also on the bill was Scottish rockers Big Country, 2 Tone ska revival band The Selecter, Eurovision favourites Sonia and Cheryl, Mike and Jay from Bucks Fizz, plus chart-topping Toyah and rockers Dr & The Medics.

Details of next summer's line-up has yet to be announced but judging by the standard of acts over the last three years 2017 should be a corker!
