Among the contemporary acts, supporting the Manfreds will be Elles Bailey, one of the UK’s finest vocalists, and blues duo When Rivers Meet, who have had three top 20 UK albums.
Other acts on the bill include guitar-great Ben Poole, award-winning vocalist Kyla Brox, blues proggers Burning Rope, soul-blues newcomers Connolly Hayes and hosts The Milk Men.
Milkfest’s chosen charity this year is Children With Cancer UK, which has been supporting families and childhood cancer research since 1988, developing kinder treatments, improved public and scientific understanding of childhood cancer.
