In response to one fan’s comment that this will be a “dream show”, Rodgers replied: “That's not all! Of course CHIC will be playing as well as hip hop legends Q-tip Eric B. - Keith Urban's going to play as well as Paloma Faith and many more to be named.”
As vintagevinylnews.com reports, the two-day festival (which is expected to draw 10,000 people) will run from 3PM to 11PM each day, and it will also include a children’s festival timeslot from 9AM to noon. A portion of proceeds will reportedly be donated to local charities.
Tickets to the festival go on sale next Wednesday (June 10).
