GuilFest have announced today that Sham 69, Buzzcocks & Ruts D.C will paly on the Vive Le Rock Stage and will join previously announced headliners The Boomtown Rats, Kool & The Gang and The Human League.

GuilFest organisers are delighted to announce that Sham 69, with their original line up, featuring the founding members of the band, legendary Jimmy Pursey, Dave Parsons and Dave Tregunna, will be headlining The Vive Le Rock Punk Stage on Friday 18th July. Their hits include ‘Hurry Up Harry’, ‘Angels with Dirty Faces’ and ‘If The Kids are United’.   

Punk legends Buzzcocks return to GuilFest to headline The Vive Le Rock Punk Stage on Saturday 19th July.  Famous for classic tracks ‘Orgasm Addict’, ‘Harmony In My Head’, and of course the punk anthem ‘Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)’, Buzzcocks have been cited as inspiration by a wide variety of acts including REM, Nirvana and Green Day and can quite rightly lay claim to being one of the most influential bands of the Punk era.   

Reggae Punk rockers Ruts D.C. are confirmed to headline The Vive Le Rock Punk Stage on Sunday 20th July.  Reformed in 2008 after nearly 30 years, Ruts D.C. are best known for their highly regarded 1978 single ‘In a Rut’, ‘Babylon Burning’, ‘Something That I Said’ and ‘Staring at The Rudeboys’.  

In the coming weeks the GuilFest line up will continue to grow with over 200 live acts and DJs performing on 7 stages across the festival site, including the now legendary Big Cheese Rock Cave, The Acoustic Lounge and our two unsigned LiveClub stages.  

Don’t forget that it isn’t just about the music at GuilFest! All over the site you can find excellent entertainment such as the brilliant Theatre Tent, featuring a wealth of diverse theatrical productions all weekend long.  The Cosmic Comedy Tent also returns this year with a fabulous yet to be announced line up of some of the best comedians in the business. 

For the night owls, Farmer Giles' Barn Dance, La Discothèque, The Funky End Dance Tent, and the brand new Spaced Inn will keep you revelling ‘til the early hours. All this, as well as the massive 150ft beer tent, cocktail bars, food and drink from around the world, craft and clothes stalls, impromptu street theatre performances and much more besides! 

Consistently nominated as the UK's Best Family Festival, GuilFest has, as you would expect, a fabulous Kidzone for your young ones to enjoy - featuring a brilliant children's theatre, face painting, fun rides, games, and costume making, culminating in a wonderful procession across the festival site on Sunday.
