What the organisers say

We are so pleased to announce we are bringing music legends The Stranglers (Official) to The Great Estate on Friday night!

The Stranglers no bullsh*t attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late 70s.  But their musicianship and menace transcended the genre, creating a sound unique to themselves.  Scoring hit singles with ‘Peaches’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Walk On By’. Further success was to follow with ‘Always The Sun’, ‘Strange Little Girl’ and the mercurial ‘Golden Brown.

We are also bringing you Soul II Soul on Sunday! The iconic band born from the vibrant UK soundsystem culture, epitomises determination, resourcefulness, and an unwavering passion for music. Their groundbreaking hits, like "Keep On Movin'" and "Back To Life," solidified their global fame and earned them two Grammy Awards. It's going to be a Sunday like no other.
