Splendour Festival is set to return to Wollaton Park for the first time since 2019. The festival will this year, for the very first time, take place over two days: Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24.
This year has one of the strongest line-ups including performances from Anne-Marie, Richard Ashcroft, Supergrass and Craig David. This week also saw a number of additional performances announced for the fringe stage and also comedians who will take to the comedy stage.
It can be really difficult to plan what to do with your weekend and who to see as there are so many different acts to choose from. While there are some unmissable performances from huge acts such as Melanie C or Richard Ashcroft, there are a number of smaller ones worth catching if you can.
