Gary Numan among next wave of acts announced for Playground Festival 2021

Playground Festival 2021 has revealed the next wave of acts for next year's three day event in Rouken Glen Park.

This year's event was rescheduled due to coronavirus and will now take place between July 30 and August 1 2021, with a stellar line-up of international artists.

Following last week's announcement of headliners Kraftwerk, Underworld and Nile Rodgers and CHIC, organisers have added Gary Newman, John Hopkins LIVE, Kelis, Neneh Cherry, The Wailers and Martha Reeves and The Vandellas to the lineup - with a final 'special guest' still to come.

They will be joined by homegrown artists Colonel Mustard, Pictish Trail, Stephanie Cheape, Optimo, Harri & Domenic, Auntie Flo, Nightwave, Rebecca Vasmant and Lezzer Quest.

Ashleigh Elliott of Playground Festival said: “We’re delighted to announce wave two of our line-up and we are sure fans will agree it’s pretty much insane.

"There is much more to announce including a major special guest which we are really excited about!

“At Playground HQ we have been blown away by the amazing response to last week’s headliner reveal of Underworld, Kraftwerk 3-D, Nile Rodgers and CHIC.

"We are on course to make this the most exciting festival of 2021".

Tickets are £159 for the three-day weekend and £59 for individual days and they go on sale tomorrow (Thursday) at 9am via playgroundfestival.co.uk.
