Well-known songs include Goodbye Mr A, Worried About Ray, and Cops and Robbers.
Other acts for the lineup include comedians Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke who will appear as ‘Kevin and Perry’ for a DJ set, media personality 'Big John' will make an appearance, and EastEnders actor Shaun Williamson will perform ‘Barrioke’.
There will also be tributes dedicated to performing the songs of Queen, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Sam Fender, Gerry Cinnamon, and Oasis at the festival.
