Main Stage headliners The Lightning Seeds will be supported by some of Yorkshire’s best talent such as The Y Street Band, Ben Beattie’s After Midnight Band, Flatcap Carnival, Hyde Family Jam and ‘The UK’s maddest party band’ HUGE! – promising festival-goers an eclectic mix of funk, blues, reggae, ska and rock.

Meadowfest will feature some of the region’s best street food stands, including ‘Pizza Chef of the Year 2019’ Mark Baber from Wood Fire Dine and the Yorkshire Bus Bar will be on hand to offer artisan Yorkshire-produced drinks.

There will also be a whole host of arts and children’s entertainment plus onsite fairground rides.

Festival Director Tom Naylor-Leyland said: “Both residents and visitors to Malton have greatly missed our events calendar over the last year. Meadowfest was the perfect addition to our repertoire when we launched it back in 2019, and we’re so delighted to be able to safely host the event this year and bring music back to Malton in 2021.”
