York Festival Headliners Announced!

25th November 2019

Things we talked about today…

The news is finally here. There has been much anticipation over who will be headlining the new York Music Festival and Ben and Laura finally announced the acts this morning: MADNESS. WESTLIFE. LIONEL RICHIE! Some world-class acts here and also many well-known supporting artists too such as Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Scouting for Girls and The Lightning Seeds. Get to www.york-festival.com for more info and tickets! 3-day passes are on sale now, with individual day tickets going on sale on Thursday and the festival will be held at York Sports Club.

Laura took the Minster FM team to Mansion in York last night to meet her favourite hairy drag queen Crystal. Crystal told us all about her experience on season 1 of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK and why they use Drag to express different ideas of gender. You can listen to the interview again from 7:10am this morning on the app or our website.
