THE full line-up for next year’s Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival in Colne has been revealed.
The three-day event - one of the UK’s biggest festivals - will be celebrating its 29th consecutive year when it is held over the August bank holiday weekend.
Over 100 bands and artists will be performing at 12 different official festival venues around Colne.
The 2018 festival which runs from Friday, August 24 to Sunday, August 26, has a very British feel with some of the leading names from the UK blues and rock scene featuring alongside rising stars on the scene.
Among the artists confirmed are multiple award winners King King, Laurence Jones, Simon McBride and Lisa Mann.
Full festival tickets have also gone on sale, priced £75, and anyone buying a ticket before the end of January will receive a limited edition, not-for-sale, Festival Ambassador T-shirt.
Tickets for the official festival camp site at Colne and Nelson Rugby Club are also now on sale.
