A popular 90's band will take to the Suffolk stage this summer after being revealed as the latest headliner for a music festival in memory of a Sudbury teen.
SMiLE festival will take place on July 20 at AFC Sudbury and will raise money for The Smile of Arran Trust, which was launched in 2014 after 13-year-old Arran Tosh was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died just days later.
On Friday, organisers announced the second big name to appear in this year's line up as 90's alternative rock group The Farm.
The Liverpool-born band formed in 1983 and had big hits throughout the 90's including 'Groovy Train' and 'All Together Now'.
The Farm joins rock superstars Toploader in the line-up for this year's SMiLE event.
This year will mark the 10-year anniversary of Arran's death, and so his family who organise the SMiLE festival have decided to make it the last event.
Arran Tosh died aged 13 on June 7, 2014, just days after a visit to the optician led to a brain tumour diagnosis.
The first SMiLE festival took place on July 22, 2017, and since then headliners have included Little Mammoths, The Hoosiers and The Proclaimers.
The Smile of Arran Trust supports children and families affected by brain tumours through dedicated 'Arran Grants' in partnership with CLIC Sargent.
It also supports music therapy through Addenbrookes' Charitable Trust and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
The final SMiLE festival event will take place on July 20, 2024 at AFC Sudbury.
