THE STARS are lining up nicely for Lakefest 2017, at the Eastnor Deer Park

Organisers have just announced another three top musical acts for the line-up, and they are Feeder, Wilko Johnson and Kíla.

They will join fellow headliners Alabama 3 and Seth Lakeman for the event, which will take place from August 10 to August 14.

Welsh rock band Feeder formed in Newport in 1992 and consists of Grant Nicholas (vocals and guitar), Taka Hirose (bass) and Karl Brazil (drums).

A spokesman said: "Feeder were originally inspired by a variety of artists and genres that include: Nirvana, The Police and The Smashing Pumpkins.

"They are renowned for their unique sound that combines a fusion of rock, acoustic guitars, string orchestras, and pianos. Feeder gained credible media attention when they released their third album Echo Park in 2001. The following year and with the passing of founding member, drummer, Jon Lee, the band released their fourth album Comfort in Sound later that year.

"Between 2010-2016, Feeder has had three further top 20 albums, with their most recent All Bright Electric returning them to the top 10.

Credited as one of the founding influences of the English punk movement, English singer, songwriter, guitarist and actor, Wilko Johnson is renowned for his association with the pub rock/rhythm and blues band Dr Feelgood in the 1970s.

The spokesman said: "In 2012, Johnson announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Yet, despite the doctors’ worst predictions he continued to perform and present himself with vigour and a new zest for life.

"In 2013, Wilko revealed that due to a second opinion and subsequent life-saving surgery, he was cancer-free."

Wilko said: "Man, there’s nothing like being told you’re dying to make you feel alive!”.

Irish folk music/world music group, Kíla, originally formed in 1987 in Dublin and in 2003, were credited with breathing new life into contemporary Irish folk music.

In 2015, Kíla received a variety of nominations and awards which included their collaboration on the music for the Oscar-nominated feature, Song of the Sea with Bruno Coulais.

They received an Annie Awards nomination for ‘Outstanding Achievement in Music in an Animates Feature Production’. Furthermore, Kíla received an Emmy nomination for their work on a Crossing the Line production called The Secret Life of the Shannon. Kíla has played at numerous festivals around the world including: Glastonbury, Womadelaide, Reading and the Cambridge Folk Festival.

Lakefest Director, Lee Martin said: "Following the success of Lakefest 2016, we want to offer our guests a variety of musical acts that will appeal to everyone. We’re thrilled to have secured these acts for our sixth year and are certain our festival-goers will be too. There’s plenty more in store for our guests over the coming months. Roll on, August"
