Heal Festival begins its first wave of artist announcements with ex Kasabian frontman, Tom Meighan.

From producing new critically acclaimed material to supporting Noel Gallagher on his massive tour, Tom will be gracing the main stage performing all his hits from Kasabian and recent solo efforts.

Heal Festival will return to West Mid Showground, Shrewsbury from 20-21 September. It will feature multiple stages and arenas, activities for all age groups, fairground attractions, games, street food, a newly announced Caribbean-inspired zone, and a wellness village.

In addition to music, free wellbeing demos and children's activities will also take place throughout the weekend.

Ian Bebbington showground CEO said: 'We were exceptionally proud of the turnout for last year's show. Whilst many events are seeing a reduction in numbers due to the cost of living crisis and over-saturation of the market, we have seen our audience jump up. Tom Meighan marks the beginning of our artist announcements, with many headliners yet to come. Whilst a single man doesn't define a band, Tom is undoubted to many the voice of Kasabian – we welcome him to Heal not because he's an amazing performer and has an amazing back catalogue of music, but because this is what we are all about, bringing people together, to help make amends for the past – to help build a positive future.

"We are looking for more partners and organisations within the charity / third sector to get involved in the event. Its a powerful platform that has the face of a contemporary music and wellness festival and the spirit of a community group so therefore can reach and be a force for good to all parts of our communities whilst maintaining hopefully a edgy image. We are community focused hence why the entry fees are subsidised to offer the best value as possible – limited earlybird tickets are on sale now".

More artist announcements are expected daily over the coming two weeks.
