Live music was provided by entertainers such as Frankie J Holden and Wilbur Wilde, Dwayne Elix and The Engineers, and The Midnight Drifters.

The festival was rounded out by competitions for best dancers and best-dressed, plus stall holders offering retro collectables and pin-up beauty services.
The event began in 2017 as an open invitation to celebrate the marriage of Adam Parker (aka DJ Grizzly Adams) and Yvonne Paolucci at a rock 'n' roll party.
There were bands, a DJ and a wedding ceremony chucked in the middle - and a new Tamworth event was born.
