Veteran rock band Reef have been announced as the first headliner for this year’s Sausage and Beer Festival at Jimmy’s Farm in Ipswich.

The band will be headlining the event on Saturday, July 23, with their set kicking off from 9pm.

The Glastonbury-based quartet shot to fame in 1997 with their chart topping album Glow, spawning hit singles Place Your Hands and Come Back Brighter. A Sunday headliner and full-line up for the two day event is set to be announced over the coming weeks.

Last year Toploader, Athlete and The Shires topped the bill.

The festival also includes food and drink stalls, camping and entertainment.

Early bird tickets for the festival will be available until Sunday, January 10 at www.jimmysfarm.com.
