Great news from the organisers of the Somerton Music and Arts who have announced that the festival is to go ahead as planned, with a series of arts and music events taking place throughout the town from the 3-10 July, culminating in the Somerstock Music Festival on 10 July
“After a tough year for everyone, we are thrilled to be able to go ahead with a festival which provides fantastic entertainment for both the local community and for visitors from across the country,” said Cliff (Fred) Bassett, Chair of Somerton Music and Arts Festival.
The festival, which started in 1987, is an annual event in the historic Somerset market town, providing entertainment across the week including a family fun day, local bands, classical music, talks and workshops. The festival culminates in a one-day music festival, Somerstock. Attracting top bands, this year’s headliners are pop and soul legends The Christians. A further 14 bands – including This Is Queen, Black Friday, Matt Owens and Whole Lotta Led – will perform across three stages, providing no-stop family entertainment, and a wide variety of food, bars and stalls will ensure that there’s something for every taste.
As well as providing entertainment, the festival raises money for charity, with Fred explaining, “We look forward not only to being able to put money back into the community again but also being able to celebrate safely once more this summer.”
