There are still lots more acts to come



Godiva Festival has announced that Editors will be the Saturday night headliners at this year's 20th anniversary event.

The band have released six albums since their formation in 2002, with two albums going platinum.

Their second album, ‘An End Has A Start’ reached Number 1 in the UK Album Chart in 2007, followed by their third album, ‘In This Light and on This Evening’, which also went straight to Number 1 in 2009.

The Brummy band are best known for their singles 'Munich', 'Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors' and ‘Papillon’.

Also confirmed earlier this week was Gaz Coombes, who is set to headline Saturday’s Rhythm Tent.

Godiva Festival 2018 will take place from 31 August – 2 September in the city’s War Memorial Park and continues to be the biggest free family music festival in the UK, with last year’s event attracting 179,000 visits.
