Paloma Faith will headline on 6 July, with support from Sam Ryder among others

Paloma Faith, Richard Ashcroft and Beverley Knight have been named as headliners for this year's Godiva Festival in Coventry.

The event runs at War Memorial Park from 5-7 July and will be celebrating its 25th anniversary.

About 69,000 people attended last year's festival, which featured The Enemy, Rudimental and Mel C among the line-up.

Coventry City Council, which had warned ticket prices may increase due to a budget shortfall, said early bird day tickets would start at £7.50.

Other acts booked for 2024 include Sam Ryder, Lady Leshurr, The Primitives and Holy Goof.

Family activities will include craft sessions, a have-a-go circus, and sports activities.

Only 20,000 tickets will be made available at the early bird prices, with weekend tickets costing £26, and family weekend tickets starting at £79.

Tickets will be available to buy at 09:00 GMT on Friday and people can view the full line-up on the festival website.
