The Friday night line-up for this year’s Wiltshire Throwback Festival (WTF26!) has been released, with top names including Amelle Presents Sugababes Overload, Jon and Jo from S Club and R&B group Another Level.
The festival, running from Friday 26th to Saturday 27th June at Oakfield Stadium, is set to be even ‘bigger and bolder’ than last year’s weekend of 80s, 90s and 00s nostalgia.
One of the organisers, Nico Menghini, said, “The Friday line-up was intentionally crafted to create a full-scale throwback experience, blending R&B, pop, dance and early 2000s club classics into one electric night. Each act has been selected to deliver an unforgettable moment for fans who grew up with these hits and for those discovering them anew.”
The Friday line-up
Another Level
One of the UK’s standout R&B groups, known for the chart-topping hit “Freak Me”, alongside classics such as “Be Alone No More”, “From the Heart” and “Bomb Diggy”.
Nico said, “With multi-platinum success and Brit Award nominations, Another Level helped define a generation of UK R&B and now they’re bringing those unforgettable hits to Melksham.”
Amelle Presents Sugababes Overload
Brit Award-winning, multi-platinum Sugababes star Amelle performs an exclusive show celebrating one of the most successful girl groups in UK chart history. With six number one singles and millions of albums sold, Sugababes remain one of the most influential pop acts of the 2000s.
Jon and Jo (from S Club)
S Club achieved four UK number one singles, two Brit Awards and global success with a catalogue of pop anthems. Jon and Jo bring those feel-good classics back to the stage for a special collaborative performance.
Big Brovaz
MOBO- and Brit-nominated Big Brovaz were a defining sound of the early 2000s with hits including “Nu Flow”, “Favourite Things” and “Baby Boy”.
“Expect high-energy nostalgia from start to finish,” said Nico.
Booty Luv
Responsible for club anthems including “Boogie 2nite” and “Shine”, Booty Luv continue to rack up millions of streams and remain a guaranteed party-starter.
DJ Clifty and DJ Ready Cee
Nico said, “Two of the biggest names in UK throwback DJ culture, keeping the energy high throughout the night.”
Last year’s festival featured ska favourites Bad Manners, Doctor and the Medics, TV icon Timmy Mallett, boybands 911 and Blazin’ Squad, DJ sets from Artful Dodger, DJ Luck & MC Neat, and a high-energy show from Dick & Dom, building to a Saturday night finale with headline performances by Tinchy Stryder, Fuse ODG and So Solid Crew.
This year’s Saturday night line-up has yet to be announced, with more big names expected to be added to the bill.
