Rugby Bikefest to rock the town centre

On Sunday 18 May as part of the Rugby Bikefest it will not only be the motorbikes that are rocking the town centre but the music line-up as well! Organisers Rugby First, in collaboration with local motorcycling groups, musicians and Rugby Borough Council have put together an amazing line-up which promises to appeal to all music tastes and have you firing on all cylinders. The festival takes place in Rugby Town centre between 10.30am and 4pm and is one not to be missed!

Whether you are a bike enthusiast or not, there is something to keep everyone entertained – a ‘ride-in’, bike displays, stalls, live music, arena displays, children’s activities, funfair and food – a great day out for all the family!

This year’s music line up is super-charged with some superb local bands taking to the two stages in Market Place and Church Street (next to The Squirrel public house). Performing on the day will be Blues Extra, The Mutineers, The Soul Revival, Bright Black, The Rooters, Rugby Electric Guitar Orchestra, Big Family, Trust Club, The Jellyheads and White Men Can’t Funk!

For timings and further information please visit the Bikefest website.

Linda Lowne, Rugby First Business Director, said: “The music at Bikefest is always a big draw and this year I think we have got a great line-up of local bands and talented performers on display. A massive thanks to the creative team who have put the exciting programme together and to all the musicians involved.”

Linda added: “Don’t forget if you want to join the very popular ride-in, you will need to register online at the web address below. A special thanks to Rugby Scaffolding Services Limited for their sponsorship of the event and to Rugby ASDA for allowing us to use their car park to host the Bikefest arena on the day! Also, just a reminder while you are in the town centre to take the opportunity to support your local town centre businesses.”
