The Big Feastival: Jamie Oliver and Alex James announce lineup with The Feeling, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Heaven 17
The Feeling have been confirmed as the headliners for this year's Big Feastival. The festival, organised by Jamie Oliver and Blur bassist Alex James, is held at James's farm near Kingham, Oxfordshire.
Songstress Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who recently announced on Twitter that she is working on her new album, will join The Feeling onstage for a duet during their duet.
Indie folk-singer Badly Drawn Boy and 80s synth-pop stars Heaven 17 have also been confirmed to play the main stage.
They join headline acts Paloma Faith, Dizzee Rascal and Groove Armada, as well as Norman Jay M.B.E, hip-hop royalty Grandmaster Flash, British rapper Example, Roots Manuva and Maxi Jazz.
As the name suggests, the Big Feastival is as much about food as it is music. Alongside Jamie Oliver, top chefs including Raymond Blanc, Mark Hix, Monica Galetti, Gennaro Contaldo and Gizzi Erskine will all be making appearances, while Deliciously Ella will head up the Healthy Living Zone, which is a first at the festival for 2015. Alex James will run a Cheese Hub.
The festival runs August 28-30 and tickets are on sale at thebigfeastival.com
