A stunning Grade II-listed castle located near Greater Manchester is set to host a huge music festival with Olly Murs and Dizzee Rascal this summer.

Together Again festival will take place at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire from July 25 to 27. The new festival was first announced last autumn and comes from the same team behind Wales’ In It Together festival.

Set two-miles away from the village of Tattenhall in Chester, the castle was built in 1829 and is recorded on the National Heritage List. Essentially a glorified two-storey country house, the castle and its grounds span 6,000 acres. The location has also previously appeared in the Real Housewives of Cheshire.

Together Again festival, which is being held for the first time, will feature an already-confirmed line-up including the likes of UB40, Cat Burns, Jake Bugg, Lottery Winners, Gabrielle, So Solid Crew and Professor Green.

It has now been announced that Olly Murs will headline the three-day event on July 25, alongside Jamie Webster (July 26) and Dizzee Rascal (July 27). Those who want to extend proceedings can start early with a special Thursday Night Camper’s Party on July 24, which will be headlined by Peter Doherty.
