Craig David set to star at open-air South Downs 'Summer Sounds' concert

The concerts – ‘Wiston Summer Sounds’ – will feature Craig David, Soft Cell + Heaven 17, Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson among headline artists.

Organisers, Summer Sounds Ltd, are currently seeking a license from Horsham District Council to sell alcohol at the event being held on the Wiston Estate at Steyning on September 8, 9 and 10.

They say that the venue – known as The David’s Tent Field on the Wiston Estate – “already holds safe and successful annual open air festivals."

It has a crowd capacity of 6,000.

Last year the annual three-day reggae ‘One Love Festival’ was held at Wiston.

It is staging a Will Young concert at Dreamland, Margate, on June 23.
