Ahead of this summer’s Oasis reunion and a host of international stars headlining open air festivals, Poole’s homegrown Ultimate Tribute Festival means live music fans can see and hear the hits of some of the biggest names in rock and pop.

The two-day family-friendly Ultimate Tribute Festival in the stunning surroundings of Upton Country Park on Spring bank holiday weekend, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May, has become a hit-packed summer curtain raiser as thousands of festival goers are expected to get in the groove.

“We’re really excited about this year’s Ultimate Tribute Festival,” says festival organiser Ben Dyas.

“If you didn’t manage to get Oasis tickets, or couldn’t stretch to the eye watering prices at Glastonbury and the other big festivals, Ultimate is a surefire bet that will keep the whole family happy. When everyone knows the hits the audience can’t help joining in and it makes for a very special party atmosphere. Add to that the beautiful grounds of Upton Country Park and the striking backdrop of Upton House and you have the recipe for a brilliant bank holiday weekend of live music.”

The theme for this year’s line-up is Rock Anthems on Saturday and Pop Icons on Sunday. Tributes include Oasis (Oasiss), AC/DC (Dirty DC), Queen (UK Queen), Pink Floyd (This Is Floyd) and Guns n’ Roses (Guns n’ Roses Experience) on Saturday; with David Bowie (The Bowie Experience), Blondie (Blondied), Michael Jackson (Michael Starring Ben), Duran Duran (Duran), Elton John (The Rocket Man) and Ed Sheeran (Ed Sheeran Experience) on Sunday.

There’s plenty going on away from the music as well with funfair rides, street food traders providing a host of tasty treats from around the world and the bars including craft beers and ciders, a cocktail station and gin bar, as well as a full range of soft drinks.

Launch offer tickets are available now with big discounts on the gate prices.

On-site parking is bookable in advance and gates open at 1.30pm.
