SINGER Ella Eyre and house music pioneer Jamie Principle will join DJ Pete Tong on stage as this weekend's Common People Festival organisers revealed this afternoon.

Curator Rob da Bank said: "Just when we thought it couldn't get any better Pete Tong has added two legends in the game for his set. Chicago House legend Jamie Principle is an electronic music icon and Ella Eyre is one of a new school of amazing singers so to have them both drop by at this late stage is amazing news. Roll on the weekend!"

Londoner Ella Eyre, 23, found fame after her collaboration with Rudimental on their Brit Award-winning chart-topping single Waiting All Night and with DJ Fresh on his single Gravity. Her debut album Feline reached number four in the album charts in 2015.

Jamie Principle was a big player on the Chicago house music scene of the early 1980s. His work includes one of the genre's standout early tracks, Your Love, as well as hits You're All I Waited For, Cold World with Steve 'Silk' Hurley, and a version of CeCe Peniston's I'm Not Over You.

His best-known work saw him working with the producer Frankie Knuckles, including dance chart topper Back N Da Day, and classics Baby Wants to Ride and I'm Gonna Make You Scream.
