On Saturday, July 7, the West Norfolk Academy Trust get the evening started on the Tuesday Market Place, followed by the 2018 Battle of the Bands runner up before Revival take to the stage to relive the halcyon days of the 90s.

The evening ends with Multi-Platinum selling singer-songwriter Pixie Lott.

Having emerged in 2008 with two multi-platinum selling albums (2009's Turn It Up and Young Foolish Happy in 2011) plus a portfolio of hit singles, including 3 number ones, she followed with her self-titled third album in 2014 which spawned her 7th Top 10 single.

Festival chairman Alan Taylor said: 'we are delighted to launch three weekends of great live music and entertainment right here in the heart of King's Lynn.

'Each year, as a committee we have to raise in excess of £85,000 to put on Festival Too. This is no mean feat, Festival Too simply wouldn't happen without the people who provide sponsorship, donations, run fund raising events and contribute to the bucket collections during the festival.

'Every single penny raised goes directly back into making Festival Too the well- loved free event it has become for 33 years.

'This year will see the best of local bands performing live alongside some well-established names and rapidly rising artists. As ever, there is something for everyone, appealing regardless of age.'

The line-up for the headline weekend will be announced next week.
