Full details of this years' Rewind The 80s Festival events have been revealed, with a host of classic acts set to take to the festivals three events; Rewind Scotland, Rewind North, and Rewind South. The world’s biggest 80s music festival is back with three U.K. festivals during July and August 2017. The three events, which take place in Scotland, as well as in both the North and South of England have growing in increasing popularity since it was first held in 2009.
According to a representative from WY pianos, who does Piano repair in Devon, and knows a lot about the Rewind 80's festival, the festival is run by The Rival Organisation and Into The Groove. It was started after the success of one-off 1980s retro shows of previous years. The Rewind Festival is an annual music festival in Temple Island Meadows, Remenham, Berkshire near Henley-on-Thames, England, Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire, England, and Scone Palace, Perthshire in Scotland.
Originally called the "80s Rewind Festival", it showcases bands and solo artists that had success in the 1980s and is also known as the 80's Rewind Festival. As well as music, in 2009, the site also featured a funfair, street entertainment and artists from The Comedy Store.
Since its creation, several additional attractions have been included at the festival, including a weekend campsite, glamping, firework displays, theme bars, silent disco, roller disco, the Big Sing, live karaoke stage, and the Friday night welcome party.
