Volkswagen festival with live music coming to Stowmarket next month

Alive and V-Dubbing Festival will be coming to Haughley Park, just down the A14 from Stowmarket, and will be running from Thursday, June 9 to Sunday, June 12.

The festival will feature three stages of musicians and DJs, as well as enough activities and sideshows to keep the whole family happy.

Naomi Wilcox, the festival's founder, said: "We are bringing Alive & V-Dubbin Festival back with a bang after a three-year gap.

"We are supporting local businesses and artists where possible, bringing you a quality event run by local VW enthusiasts who welcome everyone with a friendly smile and relaxed vibe.

"There is something for everyone with a varied range of performances and activities throughout the four-day event.

"Everyone is welcome and we are so excited to welcome everyone whether you choose to camp for two or three nights or visit for a day."

Artists performing at the festival include local folk fusion band Aartwork, who will be headlining the acoustic stage on Saturday, the irrepressible singer-songwriter Billy Hunt from Leiston, up and coming rock band Tempus Frayed, and the Queen of East Anglian Electroswing, Tallulah Goodtimes.

Other acts include ska band The Downsetters, Debenham-based singer Ellen Fairey and the concentrated silliness of the Pookajee Players.

The event will also feature a number of more car-focused activities, including the loudest car and the shiniest engine competitions on Friday afternoon, an 'anything-goes' contest on Saturday, and a show and shine contest on Sunday, with classes including beetles and various types of VW campers.
