Festival favourites The Levellers are the latest high-profile headline act confirmed to play at Bingley Music Live.

The folk rockers will join Red Dwarf and Coronation Street star Craig Charles and his Fantasy Funk Band on the bill for the festival in September.

Punk band The Blackout will also play in front of an expected crowd of up to 15,000 revellers at Myrtle Park.

Other highlights include eccentric Essex pair, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, aka Daniel Stephens and David Peter Mead.

“We are delighted The Levellers are coming,” said Bingley Live event organiser, Andrew Wood.

“They are a great festival band and, in general, the line-up includes a range of bands with a broad appeal for all kinds of audiences.”

Formed in the mid-1980s by Mark Chadwick, by the end of the decade The Levellers had earned an reputation as a live act by playing shows all over the country.

They won more fans after releasing their second album Levelling The Land in 1991. Throughout the Nineties, the band got bigger and they had a number 1 album with their fourth album Zeitgeist in 1995.

Craig Charles put together the Fantasy Funk Band for his BBC6 Music funk and soul show last year.

The DJ’s radio show listeners were asked to vote for their own fantasy band line-up, and a band was formed from some of their suggestions.

The funk super group that played on Charles’ show was made up of James Taylor, John Turrell, Dionne Charles, Eddie Roberts, Snowboy, Mike Bandoni, Ernie McKone and The Haggis Horns.

Welsh rockers The Blackout signed to Epitaph - the same label as Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion and Set Your Goals, among others. They have since graced the front covers of rock magazines across the world.

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip features Pip as hip hop MC and Le Sac on keys, guitars and backing vocals.

They have previously auditioned for TV talent show The X Factor and have teamed up with legendary band De La Soul.

English Rapper, Professor Green and Glastonbury regular Seasick Steve have already been announced on the line-up.
