Jessie J, Ne-Yo, JLS, The Wanted, McFly, The Saturdays and James Arthur are among the first names to be confirmed for this summer’s brand new Fusion Festival, in support of The Prince’s Trust and in association with Capital FM.
Joining them are Union J, Wiley, Amelia Lily, Wretch 32, Conor Maynard with many more to be announced. Birmingham’s iconic Cofton Park will play host to the ultimate summer pop party with 60,000 people and some of the biggest acts from both sides of the pond coming together for a huge weekend of pop at its very best.
Chart topper Jessie J will headline Saturday night’s poptastic proceedings. “I can’t wait to perform at Fusion Festival, it’s exciting to be headlining a brand new UK festival with such an amazing line-up, it’s one of the performances I’m most looking forward to this summer. It’s amazing that the festival is donating £5 from each ticket sale to The Prince’s Trust, it’s one of the charities closest to my heart and makes me even more proud to be on the line-up. Roll on August 31st, it’s going to be BIG!”
In addition, platinum-selling boy band JLS and 'It’s All About You' crooners McFly will also be performing. British rapper Wiley, Union J and songstress Amelia Lily will also be taking to the stage as part of an incredible mix of artists to play the festival.
Sunday will see American R&B god Ne-Yo bring the noise to Cofton Park, where he’ll be joined by chart heartthrobs The Wanted and uber glam The Saturdays, fresh from gaining their first UK Number One with 'What About Us'. Wretch 32, Conor Maynard and this year’s X Factor winner James Arthur are also on the bill, with many more acts to be announced across the weekend.
Fusion Festival is proud to support The Prince’s Trust, with £5 from each ticket sale donated to the charity to help change young lives across the UK. The Prince’s Trust is a youth charity that helps vulnerable young people to turn their lives around.
Programme Controller at Capital FM, Paul Gerrard, said: "This is going to be the biggest event Birmingham has seen in years. The whole team here at Capital can't wait to see some of the world's biggest stars rock up to Brum, it's going to be an incredible summer and Capital will be right there for every moment."
