After attracting 10,000 people to Wollaton Park last summer, organisers of the music festival No Tomorrow have extended the event to two days, with John Newman and Jessie Ware confirmed as headliners. Nottingham DJ Philip George, who reached no. 2 with his debut single Wish You Were Mine, Brits 2015 Critics' Choice Award winner James Bay, Bristol dance/R&B duo Blonde and the Grammy-nominated MNEK will also appear at the festival on June 6 and 7. "I am very pleased to be announcing that after the resounding success of last year, No Tomorrow festival is back for 2015 and has expanded to a weekend event," says Ali McLean, head of festivals at DHP Family, the Nottingham-based organisers of No Tomorrow. "We are really happy to be back at Wollaton Park, with its beautiful leafy surrounds and lush grounds; it is the perfect setting for celebrating the start of summer." The festival was launched last year with recent Grammy winner Sam Smith topping the bill. Nottingham's Indiana, currently at No. 17 on the albums charts with her debut No Romeo, also appeared, alongside chart-topping trio London Grammar, who met at the University of Nottingham. "We've gone out of our way to curate a line up for 2015 which will further establish No Tomorrow as providing the best new musical talent to the East Midlands," adds Ali, also confirming DJ sets from Bondax, Eton Messy and DJ EZ. "We've chosen headliners that have a reputation for bringing the perfect live performance. John Newman and Jessie Ware both received rave reviews for their live festival performances in 2014. "Further down the bill acts like James Bay, Bondax and Blonde show that the most exciting and current artists are at the forefront of what we do, it's really about bringing the best live and electronic artists and creating the perfect party atmosphere. "We have so many more artists to announce too, with over 70 artists on a number of stages." John Newman's hits include the No. 1 single Love Me Again, as well the chart-topping singles Feel The Love with Rudimental and Blame with Calvin Harris. This performance will be the first time Newman has headlined a UK festival's main stage. Mercury Prize nominee Jessie Ware has appeared as a guest vocalist on tracks by the likes of Disclosure and SBKTRT. "We are also expanding what is on offer in terms of other entertainment," says Ali. "We are working on a hugely expanded games arena, carefully curated gourmet food markets, a variety of interactive bars and hangout spaces, markets, workshops, wandering entertainment and art installations. "No Tomorrow is the full festival experience." The festival runs from 12 noon to 11pm each day. Tickets are priced from £65, available now from notomorrowfestival.com or by calling 0844 871 8819.
