Dress up in dungarees and bucket hats for an unforgettable celebration of the nineties, which takes place at the Norfolk Showground on Saturday, December 14.
The event was first announced on Facebook in early October, but until now the organisers have remained tight-lipped on the line-up.
The star-studded bill has now been revealed as Phats & Small, Urban Cookie Collective, Dario G and Leeroy Thornhill.
Dance music duo Phats & Small, which is composed of Jason Haywood and Russell Small, first formed in Brighton in 1998 and they are best known for their international hit Turn Around, which reached the number two spot in the UK charts.
