James Arthur to headline music festival at castle

James Arthur was revealed as the headliner for the Friday night of the festival

A debut music festival held at Bolesworth Castle in the summer is set to return again next year, say the organisers as they announce the line-up.

Together Again will be headlined by James Arthur, Becky Hill and the Ministry of Sound Classical's 40-piece orchestra in the grounds of the castle near Malpas in Cheshire from 24 to 26 July.

They join a line-up of multi-platinum-selling artists including Example, Jax Jones, The Fratellis, Freya Ridings, Scouting For Girls, Cast, Heather Small, Shola Ama and So Solid Crew.

Bosses also promised new additions such as an Oktoberfest beer tent, an extreme sports arena and live cooking demonstrations.

The festival is organised by Escape, who also run the In It Together festival in Wales.

The inaugural edition of Together Again saw more than 60,000 festival goers attending to watch Olly Murs, Jamie Webster and Dizzee Rascal take to the stage.

"Our debut year was incredibly special, and we have been working hard behind the scenes to make sure that next year will be even bigger and better," said Escape's head of festivals Mark Hopkins.

Early festival arrivals next summer will be warmed up by singer-songwriter Daniel Bedingfield's Thursday campers party.

Meanwhile, organisers said they had tried to build a weekend line-up that offered "something for every generation and every musical taste" in a bid to appeal to families.
