Surrey weekender Weyfest has announced the first wave of artists set to play its 2017 event. 

Amongst them are BBC TV legend and piano maestro Jools Holland, who brings his 19 piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for a riproaring, ivory tinkling journey through his extensive back catalogue. Also announced are punk icons Buzzcocks, famed for guitar spanking gems like 'Ever Fallen In Love' and 'Orgasm Addict'.

There's inclusions for Mancunian reggae outfit Jeremiah Ferrari, who take part in Fiesta Bomarda's two-day Liverpool Cathedral carnival, while Inglorious, Broken Witt Rebels and Mike Sanchez also feature on the Weyfest 2017 line up.

Situated at a real life working museum that has artefacts from over 150 years of farming, Weyfest prides itself on its unique environment that celebrates the bygone industrial age as well as great music. Grab your Weyfest tickets below.
