Scouting for Girls’ lead singer announced as Big D’s first headliner!
He’s so lovely
Following The Vengaboys' performance at last year's Big D, The Tab can now reveal that lead singer for Scouting For Girls, Roy Stride, is the first headliner for this year's festival.
He will perform a DJ set of the bands' classic songs.
Scouting for Girls have been nominated for four BRIT Awards in the past, including awards for "British Breakthrough Act," "British Live Act" and "British Single" for their song "Heartbeat" which you can listen to below.
Other music by Scouting for Girls includes classics such as "She's so Lovely" and "Elvis Ain't Dead."
Roy will be joined by a host of DJs from Blackbox and On&On with further headliners to be revealed in the near future.
This year, Big D have partnered with mental health charity York Mind so all profits generated by the festival will go to York Mind!
The theme for this year's festival is the apocalypse and tickets are on sale today, so what are you waiting for?
