A spokesman for the festival said: “We promised another spectacular festival and we think this year could top it all.

“Napton Festival was conceived in 2006 and has built on experience to put on what must be one of the best small, family-friendly festivals around.

“The festival goes from strength to strength and has supported local causes and music in schools again over the past year.”

There will be a bit of attitude from The Total Stone Roses on the festival’s opening night.

A spokesman said: “The band are all in their early to mid-20s, bringing the same passion, vigour, arrogance and charisma that only the young have, the old want and that cannot be faked.”

They play all of the best Roses material including She Bangs The Drums, Fools Gold and Waterfall.

Dead Frequency will also play on the opening night. They are a high energy glam punk band and mix the showmanship of Van Halen with the sound of Green Day.

Also appearing on the Friday are The Ellipsis, 4th Labyrinth, Warwick Junction and Jolly Rogers.
