Deva Fest has gained popularity for its diverse lineup, bringing together a mix of established and emerging artists. Acts slated to appear alongside the headliners include Rebecca Ferguson, Toyah Wilcox & Robert Fripp, East 17, Sleeper, and Symphonic Ibiza.

Founder Phil Marston expressed excitement about the festival’s return to Cholmondeley Castle, stating, “After the huge success last year, we didn’t think we’d be able to top it, but we’re confident this is our best lineup yet. We’re delighted to have already sold thousands of tickets in our pre-sale and it’s great to see so many people will be returning to the festival for the fourth time. Deva Fest aims to bring you a festival that has top quality musicians and comedians, fantastic street food and drink from local vendors, and entertainment the whole family can enjoy together.”

Deva Fest attracted 15,000 visitors over the course of the three-day weekend event in 2023. Consequently, this year, organisers have introduced a fourth night on Thursday, August 8, featuring performances on the Heart and Soul Stage, including pop singer and songwriter Tom Speight.

The festival’s diverse lineup spans multiple genres, with Friday featuring rising Country star Harleymoon Kemp, electronic duo Utah Saints, and the return of Symphonic Ibiza. The Coral are set to headline Friday’s events.

Saturday’s lineup includes tribute bands Oasis Ltd and The Amy Winehouse Band, as well as performances by British legends East 17 and Rebecca Ferguson. The Human League will close the Saturday night lineup.

Sunday will see the return of festival favourite tribute band Foo Fighterz, blues and roots rock duo When Rivers Meet, Brit Pop legends Sleeper, and Toyah Willcox & Robert Fripp. Ocean Colour Scene are set to close the festival with their ’90s hits.

Organisers promise more artist announcements and features in the coming months, stay tuned for more updates on what looks to be an exciting addition to the British festival calendar.

The couple started becoming more involved with social media over the lockdown, doing agony aunt talks and answering fan questions. The Sunday Lunch series began when Fripp felt the need to occupy her husband, with Toyah saying “Here I am in this house with this 74-year-old husband who I really don’t want to live without. He was withdrawing, so I thought: ‘I’m going to teach him to dance.’ And it became a challenge. I do the lighting, the filming, the conceptual side and the persuading Robert to take part”.

Another way the King Crimson star has been kept busy recently was by his wife’s latest album, Posh Pop, which was released last August. Made with songwriter and producer Simon Darlow, the album was her latest offering since 2008’s In the Court of the Crimson Queen.

On making the album, Willcox said “When COVID stopped everything last year, it allowed me to concentrate on writing and recording the next album …. ‘Posh Pop’ was a magical experience created out of the need and ability to make contact with our fans in a heartfelt way …. Working with Fripp in the studio, we just handed him the chord charts the day before and said: ‘We want you to come in and improvise and that’s what we’ll use’. It was spontaneous.“

If you want to see Toyah outside of her YouTube channel, she’ll be embarking on a tour to promote Posh Pop starting this February, taking her around the UK, with dates running up until September. If you’re interested in getting tickets, you can look here.
