The festival offers a packed lineup of high-energy swing, jive, rock ‘n’ roll, and rhythm and blues, making it a must-attend event for all music lovers.
Headlining the event will be The Jive Aces, instantly recognizable in their iconic yellow suits, and known for their infectious renditions of classic and original tunes.
