Cornbury Festival was ‘a huge success’
13,000 people packed the site for the festival, which was brought to a rousing close with a set by veteran rockers Status Quo. For the first time, the event was held over three days, rather than just two as in previous years, and took place at a new site, at Great Tew. Revellers were treated to three days of fine weather, and a typically eclectic line-up featuring a mix of classic bands and new artists, spanning everything from rock and pop to folk and blues. Highlights included sets by multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter James Blunt, folk-punks Bellowhead, Kinks frontman Ray Davies, singers Cyndi Lauper, Imelda May and Sophie Ellis Bextor, and vintage rock act The Faces — joined by Simply Red star Mick Hucknall.
