A contestant on this years 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!', Boy George is the lead singer of the 80s pop band Culture Club.
Famed for hits such as 'Karma Chameleon' and 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me', the band has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.
Also taking to the stage at Sherdley Park on the Saturday night, Boyzlife is the 'supergroup' combination of Boyzone's Keith Duffy and Westlife's Brian McFadden.
Now releasing music as a duo, they will perform songs from their new album and selections from their former band's back catalogue such as 'Uptown Girl, 'Flying Without Wings' and 'No Matter What'.
Multiple stages are planned to span the site at Sherdley Park, as well as "top-tier" food and drinks traders to keep revellers refreshed and energised.
The festival will take place Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28, 2023.
