SOME of the biggest names in music are set to bring huge outdoor shows to the county this year.
Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Boy George and Culture Club and Russell Watson will all entertain the crowds at the South of England Showground in Ardingly in July.
The shows were due to take place last year, but all events have been canceled due to ongoing coronavirus concerns.
Rag ‘n’ Bone Man will perform at Ardingly this summer
The first concert will take place on Friday, July 15, when Rag ‘n’ Bone Man will take the stage in front of a local audience.
The Uckfield-born singer, whose real name is Rory Graham, will be supported by popstar RAYE and singer-songwriter Max White.
Rory started out as an MC with a drum ‘n’ bass crew aged just 15 before going solo with a series of open mic nights in Brighton.
Boy George and Culture Club will perform at Ardingly Exhibition Center this summer
He was still pursuing hip hop at this point, but was persuaded by his father to try an open mic blues party when he was 19.
He has since released a string of hit singles, his tracks spending a total of 68 weeks in the top 40 and 27 weeks in the top ten.
Boy George and Culture Club will headline the second day of the concert series on Saturday July 16.
Russell Watson will close the event in Sussex
The show will also feature special guests Bananarama, Lulu, Kim Wilde and DJ Fat Tony.
Russell Watson will close out the event on Sunday, July 18 with his final night at the Proms event.
The concert series was organized by Heritage Live, which performed in some of the country’s finest country venues.
A spokesperson for Heritage Live said: “Heritage Live have announced that they will host a series of concerts in July at the South of England Showground – the stunning 150-acre site in the heart of Ardingly’s finest countryside.
“The fairground showcases the best of England’s unique heritage and serves as a stunning backdrop for this event.”
In addition to the music, there will be a wide variety of bars and craft traders on site.
