OUR MUSIC LINE UPS!!

FRIDAY'S MUSIC

New for this year we are excited to welcome Strokes who will be performing DJ sets between the live music acts on both the Friday and Saturday nights, making sure there’s never a dull moment between performances!

Bringing high‑energy mixes and feel‑good festival vibes we are sure that Strokes will be a fantastic addition to the Oakhanger Beer Festival performers.

Kicking off this year’s live music acts on Friday the 12th September is Call Me Ishamel. Call Me Ishmael are a local progressive folk group. We think it’s the perfect way to open the festival — relaxed, melodic and full of storytelling lyrics, setting the tone for a weekend of great beer, great music and great company.

Headlining Friday night is the fantastic local band Blue Eyed Soul, five‑piece band known for their vibrant mix of pop, rock and blues. Regulars on the local music scene — including popular appearances at events like the Alton Beer Festival — they bring a setlist packed with sing‑along classics and the kind of feel‑good energy that pairs beautifully with great beer and a buzzing Friday night festival atmosphere.

SATURDAY'S MUSIC

Bringing effortless charm and unmistakable Ed Sheeran vibes, Tom Key opens Saturday with a set that’s guaranteed to draw people in. Tom uses a loop pedal to build layers of guitar, percussion and harmonies live on stage — creating a full‑band sound from just one performer.

Expect warm acoustic energy, clever looping moments, and the kind of feel‑good atmosphere that pairs perfectly with a festival pint.

Tom sets the tone for Saturday beautifully — relaxed, melodic, and impossible not to enjoy.

After being wowed by his performance last year, we’re thrilled to welcome Andrea Ojano back to headline Saturday night and get the party going! A talented local singer, musician and songwriter, and an outstanding performer!

This year he’s bringing the hits of the 80s to life — packed with iconic hits, big sing‑along moments and the infectious energy that made his performance such a standout. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a Saturday night on the Green — great beer flowing, the crowd buzzing, and a full‑on festival party.

Get ready to sing, dance, and relive the best of the decade as Andrea closes out Oakhanger Beer Festival in true festival style.
