A ONE-DAY music festival is set to return to the Recreation Ground in Somerton next month, with advance tickets on sale now. 

Somerstock will be held on Saturday, July 9 and feature over 12 hours of live music.

The festival will be headlined by two-piece pop-rock band The Hoosiers, whose debut single ‘Worried About Ray’ reached number five on the UK Singles Chart in 2007.

The band's other hits include ‘Goodbye Mr A’, ‘Up To No Good’, and ‘A Sadness Runs Through Him’.

The Hoosiers are also booked to perform at the Field of Avalon at Glastonbury Festival. 

The Explosive Light Orchestra, The Decatonics, Chris Slade, and Nick Palmer and the False Alarms will join The Hoosiers at Somerstock.
