... with an extra special ‘vibe’.
Music magic is set to return to Thame Food Festival this year with headline act – UNITED VIBE After the wonderful success of the live music stage at Thame Food Festival last year, this fabulous feature is set to return again. The dedicated stage will be hosted
6. Thame Out
and presented by the First Thursday Music Club and Thame Town Music Festival and sponsored by Milk & More. With headline act – United Vibe – fresh from their experience on the most recent X Factor series joining on the Sunday.
United Vibe, featuring our very own Thame local Elliot Horne, will be sponsored by FestivAles and will be performing on Sunday 29th September in the afternoon. The group were brought together through the X Factor 2018 series, which saw Robbie Williams hand selecting the five boys to form a brand new UK boyband. They made it through to the live finals of series 15 after wowing pop legend Robbie at his home in L.A. The stage is perfectly sandwiched between the FestivAles Pop Up Pub and Botanical Gin Garden, with an area of covered and uncovered seating surrounded by the delights of the Street Food Market. So, the ideal spot to stop, have a drink, tuck into some food, relax and enjoy the music.”
