British electronic pioneers Leftfield and rock band Feeder are the latest acts to sign up for the first ever Chester Rocks Festival, which takes place at Chester Racecourse Saturday 2nd – Sunday 3rd July. Both acts will be joining the likes of Iggy Pop and The Stooges, The Australian Pink Floyd Show and Echo and The Bunnymen on Sunday’s bill. While the Saturday will host some of the biggest names in pop with the likes of Taio Cruz, The Wanted and McFly.

Alternative rock group, Feeder are the latest addition to Chester Rock’s Sunday bill. The band are one of the most charted acts of all-time, with a total of 20 top 40 singles. The roots of the band can be traced back to Newport, Gwent in the early 1990’s, where Nicholas and Lee played together in short-lived local grunge band Temper Temper. Frustrated by small-town life, the pair changed their name to Reel and relocated to London in early 1995, recruiting Tokyo-born bassist Taka Hirose on the way.

Saturday’s line-up includes; Taio Cruz, McFly, The Saturdays, Sugababes, The Wanted, Eliza Doolittle, The Christians and Stephen Langstaff.

Sunday’s line-up includes; Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Leftfield, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, Echo and The Bunnymen, Feeder, I Am Kloot, Shaun William Ryder, Lightning Seeds, and Tommy Scott and the Red Scare.

Tickets for the Saturday or Sunday are £47.50 each or £85 for both days and are available from http://www.chester-rocks.co.uk or by calling 01244 304 610.
