The inaugural Bingley Weekender is taking place after it was announced that the long-standing Bingley Music Live festival will not return this year as Bradford Council ran at a loss on last year's event.

James, Billy Bragg and Tom Grennan and a host of of other big name acts were announced back in May when plans for the Bingley Weekender were first revealed.

Other acts to be confirmed include Circa Waves, Ten Tonnes and James Walsh (of Starsailor).  

The festival will run from Friday, August 30 to Sunday, September 1.

A statement on the festival's website says: "Following the cancellation of Bingley Music Live this year, the all new Bingley Weekender event will be taking place in late August in a bid to keep bringing top class musicians to the area!"
