The Last Days of Summer Festival, which takes place at Stowe House country estate on Bank Holiday Monday August 25th and features Supergrass, Athlete, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Black Kids, The Rascals, Young Knives and Royworld, will also include a solo performance from The Verve lead singer, Richard Ashcroft.

This will Richard Ashcroft’s only UK solo performance, this summer.

Ciaran Kennedy of Toast, the organisers of The Last Days of Summer Festival noted: “I think the performance at Glastonbury cemented Richard Ashcroft’s place as the most charismatic frontman of any band around today”

He goes on to say: “I was lucky enough to be at Glastonbury to see Ashcroft who is back better than ever. We are so fortunate to have his only UK solo appearance at Last Days - I don’t know how many more times any of us will get to see Ashcroft holding court on his own. We are so chuffed that we were able to get him to come to come and perform here. It is an amazing chance to see him along with a stellar line-up. We’re hoping he might even do a couple of numbers with some of the other acts.”

I was looking forward to the one-day festival, but with the news that Richard Ashcroft will be performing his only UK summer show, I can’t wait. This is most definitely going to be the place to spend the August Bank Holiday!
