Fake Festival set for return to the Stray this weekend A number of top tribute bands will be performing on the Stray this weekend for the return of Fake Festival. The event is back on Saturday (15th July) from 11:45am, with six professional ‘touring-grade’ bands ready to welcome visitors. A giant marquee will again be set up on the Stray, as well as a licensed bar. The tributes have been billed among some of the best around and include ‘Really Hot Chilli Peppers’, ‘Guns2Roses’ and ‘Oasish.’ The festival will also include food and drink served by traders, including pizza and burgers. A spokesperson for Fake Festival said:

"Hot on the heels of last summer's frankly incredible Fake-Fest on The Stray, we’re back for another rock-tastic, mega-moshing, tune-chanting, huge, local party – and we really can’t wait! "We’re getting used to some pretty full-on gigs with you guys… we really dig your style!"
