Hello Nottingham!
Nottingham ’s new summer festival,
Splendour, taps on the mike and shouts ‘Hello Nottingham!’ for the first time this weekend, bringing
top names from the world of pop to our back yard. Kate Nash, The Charlatans, Paolo Nutini, Rufus Wainwright,
Ocean Colour Scene, The Lemonheads and many others will be jostling for our attention in the fabulous
grounds of Wollaton Hall on Saturday and Sunday, July 19th and 20th. And with the sun set to shine,
the outlook’s good for a splendid first year for Splendour and for it to become a favourite fixture
in Nottingham’s summer festival season.
In the mix
Splendour’s
mainstage line-up mixes wellestablished favourites like The Charlatans, Ocean Colour Scene and The Lemonheads
with artistes-of-the-moment like Kate Nash, Paulo Nutini and Rufus Wainwright. There’ll also be a moment
in the spotlight for lesser known bands like the Beetroot Kings and House of Brothers. As if that wasn’t
enough, there ’s another stage in the Wollaton Hall Courtyard, releasing an eclectic mix of musicians
on an unsuspecting public – including local group Captain Dangerous who had their mainstage debut at
last year’s Old Market Square opening party.
