Organisers of the new Hideaway Festival which takes place at the former home of V Festival, Hylands Park Chelmsford from Friday 14th - Sunday 16th August, have revealed that the event will be headlined by Tom Jones and Grace Jones.

Hideaway will also feature whisky-voiced titan Macy Gray to the line-up along with Beverley Knight, fresh from a stint in the West End.  The Hideaway Stage will also see performances from soulful favourite Sinead Harnett, and party starters Brooklyn Funk Essentials.

The Den Stage will be the place to catch some hot jazz, including Caravan Palace and Ezra Collective, while The Retreat Stage will play host to some great blues from the likes of Eric Bibb, and The Blues Band.

For those camping there will be performances from Norma Jay MBE, Gregg Edwards and Brandon Block.

Festival organiser Roy Trickett has been carefully planning the unmissable big weekender for some time, ensuring the quality of the performing artists, the activities on site and the family friendly camping facilities:

“We’ve worked hard to create a festival that is friendly to all with a relaxing and entertaining vibe perfect for families. This is a labour of love that we can’t wait to show off this August.  Split between three stage areas, the Main Stage being more soulful, The Den Stage focusing on jazz and lastly the Retreat Stage focusing on blues - there’s truly a whole range to explore at Hideaway.  We are delighted that Tom Jones, Grace Jones, Macy Gray and Beverley Knight to name but a few will all be joining us for our inaugural weekend, bringing some incredible performances that I know we’ll be talking about for years to come. See you all there!”

In addition to great music there will be a wide range of workshops, food and drinks to keep the whole family happy.
