Punk princess Toyah Willcox is the Saturday night headliner at the first-ever music festival to be held in the village of Aston.
Astonbury will take place from Friday 20 to Sunday August 22.
There will be two stages, a full bar with real ale and cider, and food. Parking is free, and there will be free children’s activities with camping available near by.
Organisers, who are looking for volunteers, will be donating to Cancer Research, Aston and Cote Community Trust and MIND.
Actress and musician Toyah fronted her own band between 1977 and 1983 before embarking on a solo career in the mid-1980s. Her biggest hits include It's a Mystery, Thunder in the Mountains and I Want to Be Free.
She and her husband, King Crimson’s Robert Fripp, have launched an entertaining Sunday Lunch video series on her You Tube channel, sharing renditions of songs by Nirvana, David Bowie, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and more.
