The AMAZING Nizlopi are back together again for just one Summer Gig so far and have chosen ToneFest. We can't wait for this awesome musical duo to play the Free Peace Suite, it's going to magical for sure.
Their performances are life changing, they are part of the crowd and the crowd are part of their act, expect something amazing, intimate and definitely memorable.

CHARLEY MACAULAY
What a voice! Charley and her fantastic young band produce music that is just wonderful. It's young acts like this that bring great hope for the music industry and the next generation of music.
Don't miss her and I'll see you at the front :-)

LEGEND (Bob Marley & The Wailers Tribute)
They've played every single ToneFest since it's beginnings in 2008 and the reason the first event was a 2 day festival. We just had to have them and if you've not seen them before, you'll soon realise why. They are lovely and absolutely spot on. A proper tribute to an amazing iconic legend like Bob Marley. Everybody will be 'Feelin' Irie' for sure :-)

Get ready for Debbie Harris and her amazing band. As you know, I'm very very fussy about tribute acts but These lovely people really cut the mustard and I just know we're going to have a fab time in Big Top singing along to all those Blondie classics! Heart of Glass, Denis, Picture This, Rapture, Hanging on the Telephone etc etc :-)

Absolutely rocked the Free Peace Suite last year, so it's only right they come back to do it again. All the classics performed by a fantastic looking lovely trio and their Ukes.

I first BBS about three years ago and have tried every year to get them to come and play ToneFest and this year it's all come together. They really are a superb reggae act and play some of the tightest music ever. Dean's great vocals add something special to this amazing band, you'll love them.

Well, I have to admit I was a little star struck when Luke asked to come and play ToneFest. As one half of Nizlopi, who in my opinion are one the best festival groups of all time, Luke and John Parker (currently playing double bass with Jake Morley) wrote some amazing songs and produced an energy like no other. Luke is producing a solo album and will thrill the ToneFest crowd I'm sure with his new material and hopefully some old classics. Not to be missed. The Free Peace Suite may never be the same again! Get ready!

With his wonderful band behind him, Gideon has been astonishing UK audiences for as long as anyone can remember. Influences are as broad as the day is long. Perhaps hip-hop, joyous, thought provoking, soulful and always eccentric.

THE FREQUENCY
The Frequency really are the real deal.
All hailing from Bournemouth, England, it’s becoming clear that indeed the south will rise again. With a rich blend of cutting guitar tones, catchy melodies and smoky vocals, The Frequency are set to deliver the kind of records that will make you want to queue up at the local music store, to get one of the first copies.
