Event Director Michael Johnston said: “We’re really excited to be returning to Ilkley for our 5th anniversary. Each year our event grows, and along with it the sense of community we create.

“At our festivals we commit ourselves to providing weekend-long entertainment. After last year's success of the tribute acts, we’re really looking forward to announcing more this year. Hearing such iconic songs played live provided an atmosphere we can’t wait to recreate”

The two day event returns to East Holmes Field on June 15 and 16, with tickets available via the Ilkley Food & Drink Festival website.
