A brand new 'Crewe Rocks' festival is coming to the town this August bank holiday weekend, for an action-packed day of live music across three venues.

The 14-act event takes place on Saturday 29 August, with performances scheduled at Tom's Tap, Thomas Street, The Borough, Earle Street and The Arena, High Street.

Music at Tom's Tap gets underway at 1pm, with Violet Cry opening the line-up before Oli Ng, Minstrels of Mischief, Something Followed Me Home and We Are Nomad take to the stage every hour after.

The Borough starts earlier at noon with Danny James, followed by Ant Clowes Duo, Sheena Shine, Steve Robinson, Andy Mac and Baxter on the hour.

Wristbands cost £5 for daytime access, while an all-day wristband is £10 (Photo: Strange Events).

Organisers have billed the event as a day bringing a range of live music to venues across Crewe, with the line-up spanning solo performers, duos and bands.
