+ 10 - 6 | § Retrofest - ABC, Human League, Bananarama and more...

Music lovers of classic eighties music are set to have a festival of their own this summer at Retrofest, with Bananarama, Human League, Howard Jones, ABC, Go West, Jimmy Somerville, Tony Hadley and many other acts. Taking place at Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland on September 1 and 2 2007, up to 20,000 music lovers will get the chance to see 16 classic bands play the hits - known worldwide thanks to many a movie soundtrack - just as they remember them.

ABC's Martin Fry said: "I'm looking forward to this one. It's a good line-up and it'll be as much fun for me and the others all to be playing on the one line-up as it will be for the fans to watch us performing."
