The Gibraltar Music Festival will be held over the 5th and 6th of September. Other acts announced include 'Rae Morris,' the American Reggage band, 'Third World,' 'The Feeling', 'Lawson', 'Tom Odell' and the Spanish duo 'Estopa.'

Four local acts have also been announced so far: Reach, Strange Brew, Paddy Taylor and Tim Garcia featuring Afterhours. With twenty hours of music over two days, this year’s Festival is bigger than ever: a highlight of events-led tourism in Gibraltar.

Last year’s Festival sold out, with an audience of 11,000, 1,400 of whom had come to Gibraltar specially for the occasion. This year, the organisers are aiming to increase the Victoria Stadium’s capacity to 15,000.
