Joining the eclectic mix of talent are US band Wheatus who will perform their worldwide smash hit ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Sheffield’s finest Reverend & The Makers (Heavyweight Champion of The World), world renowned DJ Sammy, famed for his classic hits ‘Heaven’ and ‘Boys Of The Summer’, the Ibiza based Hed Kandi DJ Phoebe D’Abo and X factor runner up Janet Devlin whose YouTube hits currently stand at a massive fifty million.
Emerging talent will also be given a platform, expect to see the likes of London based We Used To Make Things, up and coming German artist Lia Rox and rising stars of the Rock scene, Corvus.

The weekend promises two days of solid partying for a wide ranging audience.
Catering options are diverse, from a New York Style Deli counter to Chinese food and a wide range of options for vegetarians and vegans.
Spokesperson for SpringFest Simon Britton, CEO of Wave365 Media says:
“With the brief hiatus of T In The Park this year, Edinburgh was missing festival options. SpringFest will offer something totally unique and completely new. The Corn Exchange in Edinburgh is right in the heart of the city centre with convenient and easy travel links and hotel options. SpringFest will bring a truly unique and very special festival experience to a Edinburgh’s beautiful and historic city centre.”
Capitalizing on Edinburgh as an ideal weekend break destination and without any risk of inclement weather spoiling the indoor festival’s fun, the demand for SpringFest tickets will be high and organizers are expecting a sell out event.
Day tickets are £55 ($68.75) and weekend tickets are £95 ($118.76).
