Are you ready for the party atmosphere! This year our Saturday line-up is guaranteed to get you going with a long list of fantastic acts to get you in the mood to move those dancing feet.
We start with the winner of this year’s B-Fest and then quickly move through the gears.
Acoustic sets from Wooden Maiden and Spacecake will gently ease you into the afternoon and then Soul Stretch Gang will push the tempo with their eclectic mix of funk, groove and hip-hop.
The much admired Broken Eyes and the brilliant Reno & Rome then set the early evening rhythm to get you ready for this year’s headline acts.
Rounding off this year’s incredible night are The ELO Encounter playing the best of Jeff Lynne’s much-loved catalogue and the night ends with the return of Rhapsody to Bures Music Festival playing the finest Queen tracks with an energy and passion that is a wonder to behold.

Rhapsody (queentribute.co.uk/)
Rhapsody was formed out of a passion for music and all things Queen. With breathtaking accuracy, its members reproduce the same high-energy show that became the trademark of Queen and the great Freddie Mercury. Rhapsody delights audiences all over the world performing Queen’s greatest hits – an unmissable show for any Queen fan.
The ELO Encounter (elo-encounter.co.uk/)
The ELO Encounter brings together some of the finest musicians in the UK to create the ultimate live tribute to Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra. The show features soaring strings, striking vocal harmonies and the most loved songs from ELO’s hit-filled library including ‘Mr Blue Sky’, ‘Evil Woman’ and ‘All Over the World’.
Reno & Rome (soundcloud.com/renoandrome)
Suffolk-based Reno & Rome combine themes of love, euphoria and romance with infectious melodies and ethereal pop-rock. With their electro-synth sound and original tunes, Reno & Rome wouldn’t be out of place on your favourite 80s soundtrack.
Broken Eyes (soundcloud.com/brokeneyes)
The members of Broken Eyes hail from the likes of bands such as Echobelly and Eskimo Disco, and singer Pete Brame’s extraordinary vocal talents helped him achieve TV glory as a Fame Academy finalist. Likened to The Killers and Kings of Leon, this alt-indie-electro collective is taking the 2017 festival scene by storm.
Stretch Soul Gang (soundcloud.com/stretchsoulgang)
Rising from the ashes of The Story Boys who played at the Bures Music Festival in 2013, Stretch Soul Gang are a quintet formed in the gritty bowels of Suffolk. They take a pinch of funk, soul and hip hop then throw them together to cook up some tasty grooves.
Spacecake (facebook.com/asliceofspacecake)
The members of six-piece acoustic groove band Spacecake play funky music with folky instruments including congas, cajón, banjo, mandolin and even didgeridoo. A favourite at venues and festivals across East Anglia, Spacecake might be the funkiest acoustic band you’ll ever see.
Wooden Maiden (facebook.com/WoodenMaiden)
Said to be the saviours of acoustic metal and rock, Wooden Maiden offer a mixture of rock, country and metal covers performed in their own unique style. Expect a mix of Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Kiss, Old Judas Priest and many more.
