Scouting For Girls will headline on the Friday, with T’Pau, Toyah, Tankus The Henge, John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett, Bez will also be performing. Alongside ‘chap-hop’ star Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer and up-and-coming rock ‘n’ roll band Penny Mob, not to mention local favourites Thrill Collins.
The Stranglers are described as one of the longest-surviving and most successful bands to have emerged from the UK punk scene, with 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums over a career spanning four decades.
The band said: ‘We really enjoyed ourselves when we played at Wychwood’s 10th birthday bash, and we’re delighted to be back to bring on the party for their 15th. Roll on the summer.’
