In addition, popular Killers tribute act Killer Instinct will travel north for the festival, along with tributes to Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton and Little Mix.

The Rising tribute, a Bruce Springsteen tribute, and The Dolly Parton story, with Andrea Pattison, the he “Dolly” in the famous Islands of Stream touring show, are sure to have fans singing along.

Little Mix Tribute Little Mix Magic complete this year’s headliners.

Event organiser Russell Aitchison said the line-up was the biggest yet.

“We are really excited for this year’s festival," he said.

"N-Trance have been playing all the major festivals with the current 90s revival so it’s great to be taking them to Keith.

"We have worked really hard to book some rare and unique tributes so the Killers and Bruce Springsteen tributes will prove very popular.

"This is our biggest line up yet with wide range of music to suit all tastes. Last year’s atmosphere was special and the main stage was buzzing.

"It was also one of the hottest days I have ever experienced in the UK! Hopefully the sun shines on Friendly Fest again this year.”
