WITH just over a week to go before the annual Common People Festival brings party revellers to Southampton Common for the Bank Holiday weekend organisers have unveiled the two-day running order and site map.
The “First Family of Soul” The Jacksons will close the festival's Disco Day on Sunday May 27, whilst Lily Allen and James will headline the Common stage on Saturday, May 26.
Rounding out the ‘singalong Saturday special’ are sets from All Saints, The Sherlocks, Jaguar Skills, The Cuban Brothers, Elvana: Elvis Fronted Nirvana and Plastic Mermaids.
And on Sunday revellers can bask in the dazzling reflection of the world’s largest disco ball and enjoy sets from The New Power Generation, Sparks, Boney M, Snap!, FooR, Jungle Brothers and Hak Baker.
Organiser Rob da Bank said: “ It’s been quite a ride putting together the line up for 2018. Headlined by Lily Allen and one of my favourite indie bands James. Disco Day on Sunday promises to be super funky with The Jacksons bringing their disco and soul classics, and Prince’s backing band The New Power Generation coming over from the States for a one-off weekend with us. We couldn’t get Prince but we have the hits.”
