Fake Festival will rock Chesterfield this summer

A music festival is coming to Chesterfield for the first time this summer, with three top tribute acts set to perform at Stand Road Park on Saturday 25th June.

UK-touring tributes to Queen, Oasis and U2 will all hit the stage during the evening in the form of Flash, Oasish and New2.

They will also be supported from 12.30pm by popular local bands including Cracking Right Foot, Trinity Road, Spitfire and The Nameless, and there will be free drink tokens available to those arriving before 2.00pm.

George Thomas, Licensee for the event said:

“I’ve always been a huge music fan, and my wife and I have supported previous Fake Festivals, so we are familiar with the set up.” When the opportunity came along for me to run a festival in Chesterfield, I jumped at the chance.”

“Fake Festivals is pretty well represented in the north of the UK, but Chesterfield was missing out, which didn’t seem fair. Now it’s easy for people to enjoy the festival atmosphere in their own community. We hope everyone will embrace it, come along and have a great day.”

George is hoping that the Chesterfield Fake Festival will become an annual live music event suitable for all ages and families and will benefit the local community. There will be food and entertainment stalls outside the giant music marquee as well as a main bar inside.

George said:-

“We’ve been amazed with the response from in and around Chesterfield. The town has a great community spirit, and the event will be an opportunity for family and friends of all ages to come together and have an amazing day’s entertainment.”
