Call Of The Wild Festival headliner announcement

One of their biggest hits is 'We Don't Celebrate Sundays' but without a shadow of doubt, Hardcore Superstar will be joined by thousands of festival-goers as the curtain closes on the inaugural Call of the Wild Festival at Lincolnshire Showground. Providing the ultimate feel-good party to end the weekends' festivities.

The Call Of The Wild organisers are delighted to have Swedish Rock icons Hardcore Superstar complete the Main Stage (now named Kilmister Stage as a tribute to the legend of Lemmy) headliners along with The Wildhearts, who release their first original line up studio album in 20 years in 2019, and The Virginmarys who are riding a very welcome wave of high critical acclaim for new album Northern Sun Sessions.

The organisers are equally thrilled to confirm Tax The Heat as special guests on Saturday Kilmister Stage.

"THESE GUYS ARE EASILY THE BEST NEW BAND I HAVE HEARD IN YEARS!" - Scott Gorham, Thin Lizzy & Black Star Riders
