Supporting the Liverpudlian icon will The Bluetones' Mark Morriss, closing the festival's acoustic day on Sunday 26th May. Joining them will be a host of unsigned acoustic acts. 

Saturday meanwhile sees a full line-up of bands, headlined by Toploader and Space. 

John Power first found success as bass player and backing vocalist of The La's whose smash hit "There She Goes" charted in both 1988 and 1990.  After leaving The La's in 1991, he was soon back on the indie music scene with his new band Cast.  Cast were a mainstay of the 90s music scene with 7 top 10 hits including "Alright", "Sandstorm", "Walkaway" and "Beat Mama".  They were labelled "The Who of the 90s" and Noel Gallagher described watching the band as being like "a religious experience".  John Power will be bringing his stripped down act to the main stage to close the Sunday of LeeStock.

John will be supported by Mark Morriss as main support on the 26th.  Mark was the voice of The Bluetones and an integral part of their success over their 18 year existence where they recorded 2 top 10 albums and 4 top 10 singles including the massive "Slight Return".  Mark will be returning to the LeeStock Festival for his 3rd appearance and has become a festival favourite on the main stage.

Tickets are available now at just £30 for both days.
