Polo Fest will be held at Chester Lakes on Saturday 15^th and Sunday 16^th September. 
 
Headlining and closing the festival on both days will be Brit Award nominated band Toploader. Since forming in 1997, Toploader have sold over two million albums and had a string of top 20 hits both at home and abroad. Their debut album ‘Onka’s Big Moka’ stayed in the top 5 of the album charts for over six months, whilst their 2000 single ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ became a global hit spending over a year on the European Airplay Charts.
 
Saturday’s line-up features award winning comedy singer-songwriter Jay Foreman who sold out a string of shows at the Edinburgh festival. Melanie C will be hitting the decks with her amazing 90s Mix tape DJ set. As part of the biggest girl band the world has ever seen, Melanie C is a house hold name all over the planet. Simon Webbe is best known as the voice behind iconic boyband Blue and will perform a selection from his string of top 10 and number one hits both as a solo artist and as a member of the band.
 
Sunday’s line-up features the high energy rhythm and blues of popular Cheshire band Zoot Serious and the Bellyful of Bop led by charismatic front man Nick Haggart. Next up is the is a voice which Gary Barlow described as “incredible” -  Sam Bailey, winner of the X-Factor in 2013 can count Beyonce as a fan as she supported her on a recent world tour. And before Toploader close the festival we have a real treat – a DJ set from fashion expert and much-loved TV star Gok Wan. Gok has become a firm favourite with house disco bunnies throughout the UK and Europe, bringing his uplifting club beats to packed out dance-floors at some of the biggest venues across the globe.
