The complete WrdeUp Festival Friday line up… This warmup to the main event on the Saturday is looking more like a main event than a warmup in itself! Previously announced Bez (formerly of Happy Mondays) & FatBoy Tim (the go to Norman Cook replica) will be joined by Alpha Circle, a five-piece band offering upbeat music to get people up on their feet.
Bez (formerly of Happy Mondays)
Bez (formerly of Happy Mondays) and FatBoy Tim (THE go-to Norman Cook replica!) will be headlining the WrdeUp WarmUp Friday event on 5th July 2024 in Highworth.
Opening to the public on Friday 5th July at 6:30pm, the evening show is being branded ‘Bez’s WrdeUp Weekend WarmUp’. Bez, the man himself will be headlining the night with his popular Indie DJ Show, playing all your favourite classics from the last 40 years and you can guarantee he’ll be getting audience members involved and shaking their maracas…
FatBoy Tim
Bez will be supported by FatBoy Tim, a familiar lookalike of Norman Cook himself (The original FatBoy!). Not only does he look like Norman, perform like Norman and generally misbehave on stage like Norman, but he is a totally world class DJ! A local warm-up act is still to be announced for
the Friday evening which is currently for sale for only £13 prior to prices rising to general admission, making now the best opportunity to get your tickets! Bez’s WrdeUp Weekend WarmUp (Friday) is for adult attendees while the Festival Saturday is welcome to everyone and provides a colourful family-friendly environment. Expect an epic selection of music, quality food & drink and interactive children’s activities.
The 2024 event marks the 10th year since the event started and also the first year for new organisers Fandangos Events, who took on the event from the outgoing committee after struggling to recruit more event volunteers. Having supported the event for the past 5 years, Fandangos were happy to take on the task and have given themselves a two year window to make the event financially sustainable and enable it to continue running for the community.
Alpha Circle
Completing our Friday line-up and opening WrdeUp 2024 are…Alpha Circle!
In 2017, 2 brits and a Spanish guitarist had a jam in Madrid and formed the band the very next day. Fast forward to now and the band have a strong 5-piece outfit with a goal to compose modern and upbeat music to get people on their feet…and that’s exactly what they do!
Sharing time between Madrid and the UK, the band are absolutely delighted to open the show this year, warming up the crowds for FatBoy Tim and Bez.
