SOME of the best local and up-and-coming bands have been added to the line-up of one of Dorset’s biggest fundraising festivals.
Teddy Rocks will be held at Charisworth Farm in Blanford from Friday, April 28 until Sunday, April 30.
The first Teddy Rocks was in 2011 and was a pub gig organised by Tom Newton in memory of his brother Ted, who died aged 10 from a rare bone cancer.
The festival grown year after year, and 2017 is set to be the biggest yet.
Headliners Twin Atlantic, Modestep and Scouting for Girls had already been announced, but organisers have now added more bands to the line-up.
These include Room 94, The Gospel Youth, Our Hollow, Our Home, Griever, Luna Wilson, Grove Street Families, Faux, Towers, Pu,p Action Radio, Signals, Wars, Palms and Pelicans, As Flames Rise and Inter Alia Official.
The festival raises money for the charity Teddy20, with last year’s event raising £42,000.
