Valley Fest organisers have announced its first headline act for its 2023 music and food event at Chew Valley Lake near Bristol. Indie popsters The Kooks, best-known for smash hits like She Moves in Her Own Way, You Don’t Love Me and the top-five single Naive are confirmed as the headline act on Saturday night.
The award-winning festival - now in its eighth year - is expected to run from August 3-6 next year, offering everything from music, to cooking demonstrations and feasts. The fan-favourite event has gone from strength to strength having sold out in the past two years.
Bristol chef Josh Eggleton of the multi-award-winning restaurant, The Pony Chew Valley, will lead the food programme alongside award-winning chefs of the region for feast demonstrations. One of those is Peter Sanchez-Iglesias, of Michelin-starred Paco Tapas and Casa. He will be behind the Friday Feast and run a chef demonstration, sharing some of his skills and knowledge.

Valley Fest founder Luke Hasell says cannot wait for festival-goers to come to his farmland. He said: “We’re off to a strong start. There will be more headliners including Arcadia’s Alchemist Playground line-up plus our Regenerative programme, not forgetting workshops and wellbeing classes."
According to the organisers, visitors can expect 'hedge-to-hedge Somerset sparkle and plenty of nonsense with a spectacular soundtrack'. Weekend tickets are £155 (plus booking fee) and can be bought in instalments to spread the payment here. Tickets for the feasts will go on sale in the new year.
