Music festival aims to raise money for Help for Heroes

A brand new music festival is due to be held next month and will aim to raise as much money as possible for military charity Help for Heroes.

Ox-Fest is to feature a host of cover acts who will perform hits by some of the greatest bands and singers ever to walk the planet.

It will take place between July 12th and 14th and organisers are hoping to attract in the region of 2,000 people each day, reports the Oxford Mail.

Impersonators will take on big names from the music industry ranging from the Beatles to Elvis, Girls Aloud and Take That.

Festival director Hadyn Wood said: "The idea behind the concept is to put on a festival that showcases some of the bigger tribute acts that you cannot fit into a smaller venue."

The Friday night of the festival will feature a host of local acts, such as those from Faringdon Community College and the West Oxfordshire Academy of Performing Arts.
