Jamiroquai, Soul II Soul, Bryan Adams, Joss Stone, Squeeze, James Morrison, Level 42, The Overtones, Kim Wilde. More acts TBA.
Magic Summer Live is hoping to fill the hole left by Guilfest, Guildford's sole festival, after the event's organisers went into liquidation last year. The location, the green and leafy Stoke Park, is the same, as is the inclusive vibe and mix of easygoing pop and rock. The space cowboy himself, Jamiroquai, plays his only UK show this year, and you can also catch Bryan Adams - no not Ryan, Bryan with a 'B' - Level 42 and Soul II Soul. There's no camping, but Guildford has plenty of hotels, so there'll be somewhere to lay your (novelty festival) hat between Days One and Two.
