Doncaster Music Festival: Superstar DJ added after act pulls out through visa issues
A superstar DJ has been added to the bill at this year’s Doncaster Music Festival after a fellow dance music star had to pull out due to visa issues.
Music producer, rapper, singer and boxer Tom Zanetti will star on the dance stage at the music festival at the Eco Power Stadium on June 6 after house DJ BIllie Clements was forced to cancel.
A spokesperson for DMF said: “Unfortunately, Billie Clements has had to withdraw from the festival due to visa issues.
“But we don't do things by halves in Doncaster, and we're absolutely buzzing to announce that stepping onto the dance stage in her place is none other than Tom Zanetti.
"One of the most electric performers in the UK dance scene, Tom is going to absolutely go off at Eco-Power Stadium. This slot just got massive.”
He is best known for his songs "Darlin’" (2015) and "You Want Me" (2016), both of which received silver and platinum BPI certifications respectively. The latter of the two charted in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Republic of Ireland.
Singer-songwriter Jamie Webster will headline this year’s festival.
He is joined by a strong support bill including Sea Girls, Ash as special guests and South Yorkshire singer Lucy Spraggan.
Alongside the main stage performances, DonnyFest’26 will also feature a dedicated acoustic stage, giving fans a more intimate live music setting within the festival site.
Headlining is Newton Faulkner, bringing his stripped-back sound and well known acoustic tracks to Doncaster.
He will be supported by Kyle Falconer of The View, alongside Chris Helme of The Seahorses and former Inspiral Carpets lead singer Tom Hingley.
Representing Doncaster and the wider South Yorkshire music scene, ADMT will appear on the line-up as the festival’s featured local artist, reinforcing DonnyFest’s ongoing support for homegrown talent.
Others on the bill include The Magic Numbers, Rob Tissera, The Kairos, Tom Collins, Klubfiller and MC Storm, The Outcharms, Fever Dream and The In-Here Brothers.
Last year’s event saw James Bay, Tom Meighan, M-People star Heather Small and The Farm among those taking to the stage.
