Festival organiser Ben Wright described the project saying:

"This is set to be the best Milnrow Calling yet! I’m over moon with the lineup we have put together.

"Nothing brings people together like brilliant live music, great food and drink in the summer. The demand for tickets has been incredible since we went on sale so we know there will be a good crowd there to enjoy a great event."

Organisers are keen to hear from local bands interested in performing at the event. In the build up to the event they will be hosting a 'Battle of the Bands' competition with a slot at the festival up for grabs to the winning artist. Artists can apply via the website: www.milnrowcalling.co.uk
