The Sugababes and James Morrisson have joined the full line-up of artists due to perform when a festival makes its debut at Silverstone Circuit.

CarFest, the music and motoring festival founded by radio presenter Chris Evans in 2012, was previously held at Laverstoke Park Farm in Overton, Hampshire.

They join the already announced Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J and Rick Astley at the event, which has raised more than £27m for charity over the years.

Organisers said the line-up for the August bank holiday weekend was "incredible".

The event has supported charities such as BBC Children in Need, the Teenage Cancer Trust and the Starlight Children's Foundation.

Evans previously described the move to the Northamptonshire circuit, which also hosts the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, as an "opportunity to raise even more money" for good causes.
