Weekend at Willow 2010
Nostalgia meets cutting-edge cool at Weekend at Willow festival, rounding off the festival season with the ultimate stand-out event of the summer. With no other UK festival offering such a contrasting line-up, Weekend at Willow is a truly unique experience, and all less than an hour from the centre of London!
Proceedings kick off on Saturday 25th September with the largest retro disco ever to be staged in the UK, Weekend at Willow sees the best-loved acts of 80s and 90s lead a star-studded trip through of one of the best ever periods in pop. Featuring massive acts such as Bananarama, Chesney Hawkes, Aswad and East 17, Weekend at Willow is a chance to indulge yourself in some straight-up nostalgia as hits from the 80s and 90s are brought back to life.
Sunday 26th sees a return to the here and now, with current top 40 chart-toppers N-Dubz headlining the main stage, while Lee Ryan (of teen-pop boy-band sensations Blue), Wiley, Liz McClarnon (ex-Atomic Kitten) and UK freestyle rap champion Professor Green get the party started.
Weekend at Willow has brought on board a crack team of festival and music industry veterans to plan and produce the festival, ensuring that it is a rip-roaring success and the highlight of the summer festival season. Headed up by legendary music manager and promoter Paul King (Tears For Fears, Level 42, Johnny Hates Jazz) – who has sold more than 32 million records for artists he’s managed – Weekend at Willow is moving ahead at full steam to create a memorable event combining the best of new music and nostalgia favourites.
All profits from Weekend at Willow will go to support the local horse rescue centre, and organisers are looking to involve the local community as much as possible. Looking set to grow in coming years, the festival will become a key part of the Faversham event calendar, standing alongside Kent’s many other attractions.
