UK promoter Kilimanjaro Live is to launch a new “indie and alternative sounds” festival called Neck of the Woods.
The one-day event will take place at Earlham Park in Norwich on Sunday 29 May with up to 14,000 fans.
The Kooks are set to headline the festival, marking the 15th anniversary of their iconic debut studio album ‘Inside In/Inside Out’.
