The headline acts for Deva Fest 2024 have been officially unveiled, with The Human League, Ocean Colour Scene, and The Coral set to command the stage. Cheshire’s picturesque Cholmondeley Castle is gearing up to host the festival for its fourth consecutive year, promising a “family-friendly” experience. The upcoming festival is scheduled to unfold over an expansive weekend, commencing on August 8 through to August 11.
Tickets for the general public are currently on sale here, with a variety of ticket options available, including single-night camping, day passes, weekend passes, and family packages. The introduction of a Family One ticket provides families with one child a discounted rate on individual ticket prices. Ticket purchasers also have the option to pay off the balance in installments.
Deva Fest has gained popularity for its diverse lineup, bringing together a mix of established and emerging artists. Acts slated to appear alongside the headliners include Rebecca Ferguson, Toyah Wilcox & Robert Fripp, East 17, Sleeper, and Symphonic Ibiza.
Founder Phil Marston expressed excitement about the festival’s return to Cholmondeley Castle, stating, “After the huge success last year, we didn’t think we’d be able to top it, but we’re confident this is our best lineup yet. We’re delighted to have already sold thousands of tickets in our pre-sale and it’s great to see so many people will be returning to the festival for the fourth time. Deva Fest aims to bring you a festival that has top quality musicians and comedians, fantastic street food and drink from local vendors, and entertainment the whole family can enjoy together.”
Deva Fest attracted 15,000 visitors over the course of the three-day weekend event in 2023. Consequently, this year, organisers have introduced a fourth night on Thursday, August 8, featuring performances on the Heart and Soul Stage, including pop singer and songwriter Tom Speight.
The festival’s diverse lineup spans multiple genres, with Friday featuring rising Country star Harleymoon Kemp, electronic duo Utah Saints, and the return of Symphonic Ibiza. The Coral are set to headline Friday’s events.
Saturday’s lineup includes tribute bands Oasis Ltd and The Amy Winehouse Band, as well as performances by British legends East 17 and Rebecca Ferguson. The Human League will close the Saturday night lineup.
