Boy band JLS have been confirmed as headline act at Sunshine Festival in Worcestershire.

The family music and camping festival will be held at Fish Meadow, in Upton-upon-Severn, between 27 and 30 August.

All four band members, Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams and JB Gill will top the bill on Thursday 27 August.

The band, which originally split in 2013 before announcing a reunion in 2020, took to the stage again in October 2021, following Covid-related delays.

Festival organisers said fans can expect hits like Beat Again, Everybody in Love and She Makes Me Wanna.

Sunshine Festival, in its 16th year, hosts five stages alongside family entertainment and a circus.

Scottish duo The Proclaimers will also be performing on the main stage. Charlie and Craig Reid will be performing their iconic song I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) alongside other favourites like Sunshine on Leith, Letter from America and I'm on My Way.

Previous performers at the festival have included Ronan Keating, Heather Small and Status Quo.

Tickets for the festival are on sale online.
