Kim Wilde, Belinda Carlisle, Nick Heyward, Imagination and more - major Retrofest line-up additions   
Kim Wilde, Nick Heyward, Curiosity Killed the Cat, Imagination and Belinda 
Carlisle are now confirmed for Retrofest the UK's first 80s outdoor music 
festival at Culzean Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland on September 1 and 2.

Imagination will be playing on the Saturday while the other four acts will 
be playing on the Sunday, taking the total number of acts to 19 so far.

Kim Wilde said: "The line-up is spectacular and performing at Culzean Castle 
will be a thrill. Retrofest should be a great weekend."

Curiosity's Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot said: "I'm really looking forward to 
playing at Retrofest. I've had some good times in Scotland and I'm hoping 
this will be as memorable as my last few visits. With that line-up I'm sure 
it will be."

Retrofest Promoter Brad Snelling said: "We promised the best line-up and 
we're certainly delivering.

"Kim Wilde and Belinda Carlisle both created iconic songs from the 80s - 
many a teen's record collection started with Heaven is a Place on Earth - 
while Nick Heyward must have a place in pop history for some of the 
catchiest songs ever.

"Add to that the genius that is Imagination and the catchy tunes of Ben 
Volpeliere-Pierrot, it's making for an incredible weekend.

"Take these artistes and add them to the likes of Human League, ABC, 
Bananarama and it's the defining music of the 80s.

"Scottish talent's getting a great look in as well with Hue and Cry, The 
Silencers and Four Good Men playing the classics from Simple Minds and H20.

"Sadly, Jimmy Sommerville can't make it now, but we wish him all the best 
and hopefully we'll see him at another Retrofest in the future.

Retrofest is also delighted to announce hit website Remembertheeighties.com 
has come on board as a sponsor.

Brad said: "If there's any site that's keeping the eternal flame of the 80s 
alive then it's www.remembertheeighties.com. Richard Evans does an 
incredible job and it's only fitting that the best 80s website has teamed up 
with the best 80s music festival."

Richard Evans said: "From when I first heard about Retrofest I knew we had 
to be a part of it. The acts are what defined the era and Retrofest has 
something for everyone. It's going to be a great weekend."

Day Tickets are £45.00 each, Weekend Tickets are £75 each, Family of Four 
Day Tickets are £150 and Weekend Family of Four Tickets are £200.

Retrofest's website is at www.retrofest.co.uk
