Watchet Live have announced that The Selecter will headline the Friday night bill for this year’s festival. They join a 3-day line up which includes The Boomtown Rats, Big Country, Blow Monkeys, Dr & The Medics, John Otway and many more.

The Selecter are an iconic 2-tone Ska band. Fronted by the original singing duo of the legendary Pauline Black and ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson, the dynamic and impaccable duo take centre stage in what is arguably the band’s ever best line-up. The Selecter’s performance will feature all the classics such as Three Minute Hero, On My Radio and Too Much Pressure, alongside tracks from their incredible new studio album, Subculture. There is still 1 major main stage co-headliner yet to be announced!

Once again taking place on the August Bank Holiday Weekend, Friday 28th – Sunday 30th August, Watchet LIVE Festival will showcase the very best music, food and entertainment from the Westcountry and beyond.

Watchet LIVE is a not-for-profit family-friendly festival with amazing views of the stunning West Somerset coastline and beyond. Three live stages will host more than 50 live acts, bringing a wide range of high-calibre musical acts not normally found performing in West Somerset, at a very affordable price.
2015 will see a doubling of the camping and car parking space available in previous years. There will again be even more emphasis on youth-oriented daytime and evening entertainment & workshops. A shuttle bus from the main town to the festival site in the afternoon and evenings on each day has been introduced.
