Fleur East, Toploader and The Dualers are all set to headline Colchester's Anti Loo Roll festival in September.

Its the second edition of the event at Lower Castle Park, set for Saturday September 10.

The family friendly festival was set up by the Anti Loo Roll Bridge, a cgroup which has been helping vulnerable people since the very start of the pandemic.

Local group Funky Voices will return to the stage, along with an NHS choir celebrating heroes in our local health services.

Both stages will also see performances from drag acts, comedians, and magicians.

Peter Dutch, founder of the Anti Loo Roll Brigade, said: “I think I’m still coming down from the unbelievable high of holding the inaugural Anti Loo Roll Festival last year, after the all the lows of the pandemic that preceded it.

"The atmosphere was truly incredible, and I can’t thank everyone who came enough for embracing our desire to host an event which brought everyone together again in a safe and fun environment.

"To help people come and enjoy the day we have launched instalment payments on adult, family and hospitality tickets.

"We can’t wait to replicate that feeling again but on an even bigger scale.

"We’ve lined up some spectacular acts to headline this year’s festival, who are as excited as us that they will be performing at Colchester’s hottest ticket in town.”
