The line-up this year includes a rock orchestra and country music as well as 80s tribute acts and musical theatre performances.

Stephen Gabriel, chief executive of Tamworth Borough Council, commented: 鈥淎fter the huge success of last year鈥檚 open air concerts, Tamworth Borough Council wanted to be able to bring another live stage to our stunning castle grounds this August for an extended weekend of live outdoor music."

The full line up comprises:

  • Thursday 8 August: London Symphonic Rock Orchestra
  • Friday 9 August: Country Superstars and The Dolly & Kenny Experience
  • Saturday 10 August: The George Michael Legacy and 80s Mania
  • Sunday 11 August: Defying Gravity - West End Women with special guests Richard and Adam

Chris Jenkins, managing director of ShowPlanr said: 鈥淔ollowing a successful 铿乺st year in 2023 we're looking forward to delivering an even better customer experience this year.

鈥淲ith the addition of a Thursday night concert, a more varied set of acts and some great-value ticket options, we're hoping even more Tamworth residents and visitors will join us this August.鈥
