World Vision UK Artist Ambassador and Downton Abbey actress Elizabeth McGovern will be performing with her band Sadie & The Hotheads on this year’s Main Stage at Wychwood festival. 

Elizabeth McGovern commented, "I am really looking forward to returning to Wychwood Festival with my band as well as continuing to support World Vision UK - we played last year and had such a blast!"

Sam Shrouder, Festival Organiser & Ambassador for World Vision comments, "We are thrilled to be working with World Vision for this year's Wychwood Festival, an organisation that transforms the lives of children who are deeply suffering in this world today. Celebrating ten year's this summer, we look forward to sharing a wonderful Wychwood with Sadie & The Hotheads, Paul Ewing and the incredible acts that will perform across the three day celebration and raise awareness for such fantastic organisations like World Vision and Toybox."

Keen to support local artists from Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas, Wychwood has confirmed a number of acts for some of their primetime Main Stage and Big Top slots, amongst these are Uke Junkies & The Black Hats. Meanwhile Robbie Boyd along with his band joins Saturday’s Big Top offering. Finally, other bands include KSH & The Going Goods, A Way With Words, The Vinyls and Funky Jets.

Continuing the local theme will be the return of the hugely popular Pomme stage run by the University of Gloucestershire with the festival’s very own radio station, Wychwood 87.7FM. The Pomme Stage champions the best artists from across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas and presents very special, exclusive acoustic performances. This year sees bands such as alternative rockers All Ears Avow, Blue Horyzon, Beat Harlows, plus many more.

London promoters Smashing Blouse will be taking care of new music on the Big Top and have added Kyla la Grange, Champs, Fe & FTSE.

These artists join previously announced headliners The Boomtown Rats, The Stranglers and The Levellers, plus The Real Thing, Craig Charles, Newton Faulkner, Reef and many more, making the 10th anniversary celebration the biggest and best yet.
