UPTON House Music Festival has unveiled a stunning bill of 80's and classical stars for next summer including R’n’B superstar Billy Ocean.

The three-night festival will run from Thursday June 8 to Saturday June 10 at the idyllic Upton House and Country Park in Poole, Dorset.

Details of the first two sensational nights have now been revealed – with the identity of Saturday’s headliner being kept strictly under wraps for the time being. Organisers have said, however, that this will be " a top international artist."

The opening night is a 'Classical Spectacular' with world renowned bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, Australian soprano Lauren Fagan, the celebrated BSO Concert Orchestra conducted by the acclaimed Gareth Jones and the exciting all female electric string quarter Escala.

The Friday night is 80s Extravaganza party night starring the incomparable Billy Ocean, hugely successful singer Kim Wilde and punk princess Toyah.

A spokesman said: “We have a wonderful selection of quality entertainment to suit all tastes with three nights of open air concerts to be staged on the beautiful lawns of Upton House.

“There will be a special blend of fabulous music, an electric atmosphere, and fine dining food. Guests can either picnic on the lawns, purchase a Gold Circle reserved seat or enjoy Pre-Concert dining / VIP hospitality.”

Tickets for the event are available now, with various hospitality packages available. See the website
