Fi.Fest returns to Fifield, Maidenhead, on Friday 12th & Saturday 13th July 2024, for what is set to be its BIGGEST summer party to date.
The popular music festival has also revealed there will be some exciting new experiences for festival-goers available at this years’ event.
The family friendly festival, which combines a mixture of chart-topping entertainment on its stages, as well as an exciting kids zone full of family focused activities, has announced that for the first year ever, there will be a Friday night festival pre-party, with the addition of camping and glamping on site.
Fi.Fest, now in its 6th year, has just released its main stage line-ups for both days, with a whole host of incredible acts that are not to be missed.
With ten top 10 singles, British chart-toppers Cast will be headlining the main stage on the Saturday evening.
Cast, formed from the ashes of two of the most legendary and lauded guitar bands of all time, The La’s and Shack, will be playing their biggest hits, such as, ‘Finetime’, ‘Alright’, ‘Sandstorm’, and ‘Walkaway’ as Fi.Festers party the night away.
With one of the most recognizable voices of the 90s, Heather Small, will also be taking to the stage on the Saturday. Heather, who is undeniably a British legend, with hits like ‘Moving on up’ and ‘Proud’ will be sure to get the crowds going.
Making his festival debut, Rick Parfitt Jr brings the ’JPJ’ band to Fifest. The band has been taking the festival scene by storm, with their sheer high energy and crowd-pleasing interaction. The band frontman Rick Parfitt Jr, is the son of the late Rick Parfitt of Status Quo fame and performs with some of the UK’s best session musicians – making this a world class performance not to be missed.
The Friday festival pre-party sees the return of Barrioke, which proved a huge hit in 2023 with the audience. Shaun Williamson (aka Eastenders Barry Evans) gets everyone in the party mood as he brings members of the audience up on stage to blast out some karaoke classics.
Headlining Friday is one of the world’s best GNR tributes, ‘Guns 2 Roses’. As the only Guns N Roses tribute to play with 4 different members of the band, they have been described as the closest looking and most internationally recognised GNR tribute of all time.
The eclectic mix of musical offerings and hours of high-class entertainment has got everyone talking and has seen the festival go from strength to strength, with record numbers attending each year.
In addition to the headliners, amazing support acts announced for 2024 include Kevin & Perry official DJ set, Bon Giovi, Third Rila’s Edge, The Teles, The Courtland Stories, Matthew Allman and DJ OneF.
The Fi.Fest Kidszone will be even bigger in 2024. With new additions including a Lazer tag zone and medieval battle arena. As well as the return of the giant inflatable fun park, bubble workshop, arts & crafts, circus skills, giant sandpit and kids’ theatre.
New to 2024, camping and glamping is available on site. Festival goers can pitch up a tent, or rock up in a camper van to enjoy a full festival experience.
