Andy O’Grady, founder of Askern Music Festival said, “we’re so pleased to be back.

"As everybody will know we had to postpone the 2020 festival to 2021, but luckily we kept the same line up.

"We’re excited that bands such as Feeder, The Coral and Republica are coming to Doncaster to play our main stage, plus Chris Helme of The Seahorses, Mark Morriss of The Bluetones and Nigel Clark of Dodgy in our huge acoustic tent.
