Aylesbury Town Council has announced the line-up for this year’s Live in the Park.
The award-winning live music event, which takes place in Aylesbury’s Vale Park on Saturday 24 August, will host over nine hours of continuous live music by local bands and artists.
The Dung Beatles have been announced as this year’s Live in the Park headline act. Since 2013, The Dung Beatles have carved out a unique reputation for performing the music of The Beatles with authenticity, passion and raw energy to sell-out audiences around the UK.
The band said: “It’s a real honour to be headlining this major event in our hometown where we’ve had the pleasure of playing this wonderful music to so many brilliant audiences over the past decade or so. From meeting so many people at our gigs and concerts, it’s amazing that there’s still so much interest in The Beatles, from younger people as well as from those who enjoyed their music back in the day, and of course their recent number one record which we’ve just added to our repertoire. We’re already thinking about our set, so any suggestions from those planning on coming along are very welcome via our website thedungbeatles.co.uk.”
The Town Council has also confirmed the following acts: Liam King, Pam Harding, Nicola Gray, Memphis Rattlesnakes, Mike Carroll, Into the South, Abbie Gathard, 91 Nights, Jazz Dylan, Hayley Chart and Abdiouene Brown. Live in the Park 2023 Battle of the Bands winners, Chiltern Groove, are also joining the line-up.
For a chance to appear on the 2025 line up, local bands are encouraged to battle it out at this year’s Battle of the Bands competition on Sunday 25 August. Interested bands can find out more. Entries close 21 June.
Live in the Park is a free full day festival offering a Kids Entertainment Area, fantastic local food vendors and market stalls as well as a Community Involvement Area. And new for 2024, Bandeoke, a chance to perform your favorite song alongside a live band, with thanks to XYZ Music academy and Radley Windows and Doors.
The day will kick off at 12 noon with a DJ set from Bucks Radio. Live music starts at 12:45pm with a mixtape performance from emerging local artists on the Bucks Radio Second Stage.
