Boy band blue to play Tamworth Castle grounds

EXCLUSIVE: One of the UK's biggest boy bands is reuniting to help launch a brand-new summer charity show in Tamworth.

Multi-platinum selling chart- toppers Blue will headline the new Midlands Music Festival, thrilling 14,000 fans when they appear in the Castle Grounds in August.

Joining Blue's Duncan James, Anthony Costa, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe on the star-studded line-up are Lemar, ex-Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon, The Automatic and X Factor favourites JLS, Eoghan Quigg and Chico.

"This is going to be something really special," organisers Jem Sanders and Roy Bickley told the Herald.

"Tamworth has never seen anything like this before."
