Event director Shannon Davis said: “We set the bar really high last year, showcasing performances from some amazing local bands and we’re sure this year’s acts are going to absolutely smash it on race day.”
“We were overwhelmed by the number of bands who got in touch with us expressing their interest.
“We had a really difficult job in narrowing it down to just 13.”
