TWO new acts have been added to the bill at this year’s Chester Rocks festival.
The Vamps will take to the stage on Saturday, June 15 and Amelia Lily will be performing on Sunday, June 16.
The Vamps are the latest boy band sensation to hit the airwaves.
Bradley Will Simpson, James McVey, Tristan Evans and ‘new boy’ Connor Ball will be playing for the Chester crowd and adding to their fast-growing popularity. They’ll be lining up with The Wanted and Union J on the Saturday.
X-Factor finalist Amelia smashed into the charts last year at number two with her first single You Bring Me Joy.
Her much-anticipated new album will be released shortly before her appearance at Chester Rocks. She’ll be joining Lawson and Jessie J in a vibrant line-up for Sunday.
Richard Thomas, chief executive of Chester Races, said: “Chester Rocks 2013 is to become one of the music events of the year – the addition of Amelia and The Vamps adds an extra dimension to the shows, and sets the Racecourse up as the centre of the music world for two days.”
