The festival field at Rookery Meadow features two stages, bringing continuous, back-to-back music across the eight hours of Festival Saturday.
 
The line-up includes regional favourites, the Buster James Band, who have been performing rock and blues at gigs and festivals across East Anglia for many years, including several appearances at prrevious festivals in Reepham.
 
The organisers are keen to support home-grown, rising stars and the Saturday line-up includes Norfolk hard-rock band, The Black Shucks, who have recently started writing and performing their own material, as well as Suffolk singer/songwriters Jazmine Honey Banks and also Will Foley, described by BBC Introducing as “one to watch in 2023”.
 
Visiting bands from further afield include The Hawkmen, who recently opened for Madness at Forest Live, and the Cable Street Collective, who appeared on the Avalon stage at Glastonbury this year.
 
There will also be a high-energy tribute slot with Killerz, a leading UK tribute to The Killers.
 
The festival will continue on Sunday 13 August with five hours of music at the Kings Arms in Reepham’s Market Place, with The Cult tribute Cultish taking the headline slot.
 
They will follow an eclectic mix of music ranging from blues and Americana band Fisher & the Ferrymen to beatboxer Differential.
 
Also appearing at the Kings Arms will be Midnight Sun, a soft-rock band from Norfolk, and musicians from the Black Dog Music Project, a Norwich-based charity that gives help and support via music for people with mental health problems.
 
Tickets to Reepham Festival can be bought via the website and cost £38 per adult, with tickets for those under the age of 16 (accompanied by an adult) just £1 each.
 
Tickets cover entry to both days of the music festival. Any surplus money raised from the event is donated to local charities.
