First wave of acts for 2020 announced!

The wait is now over with the first wave of artists today announced for Splendour 2020!
Bona fide music legends Supergrass make their Splendour debut headlining the Main Stage alongside very special guest James. Global pop icon Belinda Carlisle will be performing on the Confetti Stage, with all three bringing impeccable back catalogues to Nottinghamshire’s biggest summer party.
Supergrass have been described as one of the most important bands from the 1990s. Made up of members Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn, Danny Goffey and Rob Coombes, the award-winning Britpop Oxford outfit have achieved an unbroken run of five Top 10 albums, including three platinum sellers – ‘I Should Coco’ (1995), ‘In It for the Money’ (1997), and ‘Supergrass’ (1991) – generated millions of worldwide sales and spawned 10 Top 20 singles, including NME and Melody Maker Single Of The Week ‘Caught By The Fuzz’ and the international hit ‘Alright’. Throughout the band’s illustrious career they have scored the biggest-selling debut for Parlophone since The Beatles, helicoptered into Glastonbury, toured the world and supported everyone from Blur and Arctic Monkeys to Foo Fighters, Radiohead and The Cure. Superfans will remember their multiple gigs at Rock City throughout the nineties and early noughties.
James will generate plenty of excitement joining Supergrass as the next act confirmed for the Main Stage. With a career spanning more than three decades, the Mancunian rock band fronted by Tim Booth have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and produced a string of huge hits including ‘Come Home’, ‘Sit Down’, ‘She’s a Star’ and ‘Laid’. The band brought a crowd-pleasing set of classic hits and new material showing their continued relevance when they performed at Splendour five years ago. Since then, they’ve gone on to produce two new UK Top 10 albums – ‘Girl at the End of the World’ (2016) and ‘Living In Extraordinary Times’ (2018). There’s nobody quite like James.
American singer Belinda Carlisle gained worldwide fame as co-founder and lead vocalist of groundbreaking all-female new wave rock band The Go-Go’s. The group achieved worldwide sales in excess of 15 million albums and singles and produced international Top 10 hits including ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’ and ‘We Got the Beat’, all before going their separate ways in 1985. Belinda went on to have a prolific career as a solo artist regularly selling out stadiums across the UK. With an acclaimed catalogue of timeless pop hits, the gifted and glamorous singer-songwriter is sure to have everyone singing along to songs such as ‘Mad About You’, ‘I Get Weak’, ‘Circle in the Sand’, ‘Leave a Light On’ and the global smash ‘Heaven Is a Place on Earth’, which turned Belinda into a superstar.
With LOADS more acts to be announced in the coming months, the countdown is now ON for Splendour 2020!
