The Wombats, Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Embrace will headline Coventry Godiva Festival 2015, taking place at War Memorial Park, Coventry in the West Midlands from 3rd to 5th July.

Friday’s line up will consist of reformed Coventry band, KING Phoenix (formerly known as King), The Beat and Fun Lovin’ Criminals bringing the first night of the festival to a close.

This year’s festival also sees the return of the popular rock tent on Friday night, where Slaves will headline supported by two local bands who will have won the Godiva Calling competition. The English grime artist, JME, will headline the Rhythm tent on Saturday evening.

They will also provide festival-goers with the usual alternatives of comedy, family entertainment, attractions and the funfair.

With the festival attracting record-breaking crowds of 125,500 visits over three days in 2014, beating the previous record set in 2013, they have set an ambition for these numbers to be achieved again in 2015.

Jim Lantsbery, of KING Phoenix, said: We could not resist the invitation to perform in the heart of Coventry at the Godiva Festival this year, 30 years since ‘Love & Pride’. It will be fantastic to be back on stage in our hometown at such a great event, creating the perfect opportunity for us to introduce our new line-up to our home crowd.

Further acts and bands will be announced as they are confirmed.
