Lakefest music festival in Tewkesbury
Lakefest music festival will be making a splash at Croft Farm Waterpark in Tewkesbury in May 2012, with the line-up spanning Athlete, Reef, Dodgy, Toploader and many, many more top names.

Taking place at Croft Farm Waterpark in Tewkesbury from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 May 2012, the family-friendly festival is set to play host to a superb line-up of world-class acts, alongside stunning scenery, a top selection of beers and ciders, fancy dress, games, not to mention camping – and even some glamping!
Festival favourites Athlete, replacing formerly booked band Levellers, will be headlining Lakefest, alongside Reef, Dodgy and Toploader, with 3 Daft Monkeys, Chesney Hawkes, Smoke Feathers, Miles and Erica of The Wonderstuff, Erica and Rainy and the Dust also confirmed so far. Plus, popular local talent is set to include The Roving Crows, Kickback and Avert Francis.
Devised by the organisers of the popular West Country Cider and Music Festival, which was held at the same location in April 2011 and attracted thousands of visitors, Lakefest is described as taking the local festival to a whole new level.
So, with (well priced) tickets having just gone on sale, Gloucestershire music fans shouldn’t miss the opportunity to get their summers off to a flying – and thoroughly entertaining – start right now. With some stiff competition particularly expected for a place in one of the Lakefest tipis…
