Jax Jones will join Sean Paul as the headline acts for this year’s SpeedMachine Festival - the ultimate paradise for petrol heads, foodies and ravers.
The festival is returning to Silverstone on May Bank holiday (25TH – 26TH May) following its inaugural launch in 2018. The adrenaline-fuelled weekend will provide 35,000 festival goers with high octane entertainment both on and off the track with a-list star-studded music performances. While spectators can expect to see rallycross drivers bump and drift their way around the legendary Silverstone track at nail biting speed, they will also be entertained by an epic live music line up on both evenings
Kicking things off on Saturday 25th May with an explosive live set will be none other than reggae award-winning artist, Sean Paul. The singer, whose hit singles include Temperature, Get Busy and more recently, Body, No Lie, Mad Love, will be joined on centre stage by some of the UK’s best music acts, including electronic sensation Faithless, DUKE and DJ BBQ.
On Sunday 26th Jax Jones, who is best known for his 2016 single You Don't Know Me and his many collaborations with the likes Jess Glynne, Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez and Georgie Ezra will hit the stage. He will be performing alongside English rock band, Reef, UK garage duo Artful Dodger and DJ BBQ – helping festival goers celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend in style.
That’s not all. The festival will be home to the DayInsure Wold Rallycross of Great Britain meaning spectators can see first-hand what sets this young sport apart from Formula 1. As rallycross cars accelerate from 0 – 60mph in 1.9 seconds (that’s 0.5 seconds faster than in F1) onlookers can expect to see a lot more excitement in a short space – from minor bumps to major pileups, there’s never a dull moment.
The thrill seekers amongst us will also have the opportunity to crank up the power behind the wheels of some of the world’s fastest cars, meet some of the sport’s biggest stars and enjoy a number of interactive activities from virtual eSports to RC racing. There will also be radio control car racing, go-karting, the Monster drift show, supercar exhibits and DiRT 2.0 eSports simulators and much more.
Foodies will have plenty to entertain them too. SpeedMachine Festival 2019 will be hosting some of the UK’s hottest award-winning street food vendors, including Made of Dough, Paelleria, Los Churros Amigos and Le Swine – all of whom will be serving up mouth-watering cuisine on both days.
What’s more the family friendly event is offering free tickets to individuals aged 16 and under - making it the perfect bank holiday day out for all the family. Top class camping facilities are also available for the weekend providing ticket holders with hot showers and flushing toilets. Early bird tickets are now on sale with camping, weekend and day tickets, starting from £40.
