Paloma Faith to headline Nottingham festival

Paloma Faith headlines this year's festival

Paloma Faith has been announced as the headliner for Nottingham’s Splendour Festival, set to be held at Wollaton Park on Saturday 21 July.

She will be topping the bill at this year’s special 10 year anniversary party for Splendour, the biggest artist to ever top the bill of the festival. She is one of only two British female artists this decade to have their last three albums go double platinum in the UK.

She said: “I’m really looking forward to performing at Splendour and being part of its 10th anniversary celebrations!”

George Akins, owner, DHP Family, which organisers the event, said: “Paloma is huge name on the British music scene with three double platinum albums under her belt; Adele is the only other British female to do that! She’s the perfect choice to mark the 10th anniversary of Splendour. It’s going to be epic!”

Paloma Faith is the first of over 40 acts announced to perform at the city’s biggest summer day out at Wollaton Park, with many more artists, comedians and entertainers to be revealed over the coming months.

The organisers, DHP Family in association with Nottingham City Council, are keen to replicate the biggest ever Splendour last year, which saw a sold-out crowd sing along to epic anthems from headliner Kaiser Chiefs.

Councillor Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture said: “Nottingham City Council is proud to partner with DHP to stage Nottingham’s stand out music festival of the summer. Over the past 10-years, the event has become bigger and better each time, attracting a wide and varied audience. It’s fantastic that Nottingham residents can benefit from a £10.00 discount on full price tickets and I would urge people to grab theirs as soon as possible. I’m sure Splendour will be the highlight on many people’s summer calendars.”
