Sir Tom Jones will be the headline act at a new music festival being held in Essex this summer – near the former site of V Festival.

The current judge on ITV's The Voice will headline the main stage at the Hideaway Festival next to Hylands Park, Chelmsford, the former venue for V Festival and RiZe, due to take place from Friday August 14 to Sunday August 16.

Grace Jones, singer, songwriter and Jamaican/American model, best known for her hit song Slave of the Rhythm, will also be a headline act.

The new music event will host some of the worlds biggest soul and jazz artists for a family-friendly experience.

Fans of Sir Tom Jones, both old and new, can expect a wealth of hits from his back catalogue, including What's New Pussycat?, Delilah, It's Not Unusual, Sex Bomb and many more.

A true original, Tom Jones has one of the most celebrated careers in music, not to mention his unmistakable voice and stage banter.

The performance from Grace Jones is set to be a true landmark moment, celebrating fashion, artistry and a sense of extravagance not seen in modern pop.

Also stepping onto the main stage will be Beverley Knight, Macy Gray, Sinead Harnett and Brooklyn Funk Essentials - while two smaller stages tucked away in the woodland will showcase a variety of artists.

The news of the music event comes after RiZe festival was cancelled last year, after failing to bring the same crowds and revenue to Hylands Park as the popular V Festival which began in 1996 and lasted 23 years.

Back in its prime, V Festival attracted internationally acclaimed artists and grew incrementally from a licensed capacity of 35,000 to 90,000 per day.
