Line-up
Three days, three stages, one field. Times and stages are confirmed nearer the festival.
Definitely Mightbe
The longest established Oasis tribute in the world with over 2,000 shows under their belt. So, as good as the real thing? Well the lengendary Alan McGee thought so when he recently introduced the band live on stage! So they…..DEFINITELY MIGHTBE.
LEGEND!
ToneFest regulars and favourites legend returned to the stage. The world's greatest tribute to Bob Marley and the Wailers. If you've not seen them before, they are truly incredible.
The Guns of Navarone
A popular 10-to-12-piece UK ska outfit specialising in authentic 1960s Trojan ska, reggae and 1980s Two-Tone, named after the iconic 1965 instrumental originally recorded by Jamaican legends The Skatalites. You may even recognise one of the guitarists, lol.
Typical Girls
Amazing four-girl punk band from Dorset. Expect lots of attitude with the odd naughty word here and there! Honestly, they're the real deal, and you won't be disappointed.
Jake Morley
I found Jake on YouTube after being sent a link to him by a good friend and booked Jake for the very first ToneFest. He became part of the furniture immediately and was contractually bound to play every year, which he has, apart from one year, but we don't talk about that! I am so pleased that Jake is coming back next year to play for us again and fill the Free Peace Suite with his wonderful, amazing music.
FEARNE
Fearne played the very first festival and became a regular in subsequent years. As they all grew up, got married and started families the band sadly stopped. I am so excited that they have decided to reform specially to play ToneFest 8. It is so fitting that this amazing group of awesome people who played the first, should play the last.
The Mother Ukers
Dive into the vibrant world of ToneFest favourites, the Mother Ukers where every strum of their ukuleles brings a fresh twist to your favorite tunes. Their unique blend of genres creates an electrifying atmosphere that transforms any gathering into a memorable celebration. Whether it’s a wedding, a birthday bash, or just a casual get-together, the Mother Ukers promise to keep the energy high and the smiles wide. Experience an unforgetable musical journey and let the magic of Ukular Fusion elevate your event to new heights. The Mother Ukers are a ukulele trio consiting of Jonty Jonson, Luap Reckut and depending on the time continuum either Lex Luthier or Benny the Bass.
Gideon Conn
Manchester's finest and all round wonderful human being brings his unique and very awesome music back to ToneFest. Lyrically brilliant and guaranteed to get the crowd singing along and doing crazy arm movements!
South Street
Awesome local trio. These three young lads are taking the local music scene by storm and have recently been the well-deserved support act of the Molotovs. Don't miss their mix of great Mod 60s covers alongside their own original material. Not to be missed.
The Police Force
Immerse yourself in the unmistakable sound of The Police with The Police Force! Expect all the hits you know and love, plenty of singalong moments, and the energy of a band celebrating the iconic trio. And if a few faces look familiar, you may just recognise them from another band…
The Bonfire Band
I first met Ben at LockFest in Camden, North London, way back in 2009, when I was absolutely mesmerised by his set. This is definitely one not to be missed if you really want to come and sit and chill out in the Free Peace Suite with a nice cup of tea or a cold cider.
Mosquito B
Mosquito-B is a band coming all the way from Quebec City, Canada, and they have a special connection to the UK, having played here 24 times between 2010 and 2013, including two appearances at ToneFest. Their Britpop has seen them share the stage with, among others, The Korgis, ABC, and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Dartboard Band (Beatles tribute). They're back to present their new album, Roam In Essence, and their classic tracks from Killing Mars, Use Less U and Use Less 2.
Tom McQ
The wonder that is Tom McQ! He has never missed a ToneFest Festival and always had the crowds wanting more. A modern Bob Dylan, prolific and soulful. His songs are just simply brilliant. Don't miss my brother from another mother!
