Nutty boys Madness are confirmed as one of the headliners for this year’s GuilFest music festival in July.
The annual three-day event at Stoke Park, Guildford, will also see headline performances from Supergrass, Squeeze and the Magic Numbers.
Voted as Best Family Festival at last year’s Festival Awards, GuilFest, now in it’s 16th year, takes place from July 13 – 15.
