Thousands of pop fans will be thrilled with the newly-revealed line-up for Party In The Park.

Daniel Bedingfield, McFly, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe, Rooster, Uniting Nations, Mark Owen and Bananarama will wow the crowds at the four-hour summer music festival in Preston Park, Brighton, on Sunday, July 17.

There will also be performances from Ben Adams, Noise Next Door, The Faders, Freefaller, Keisha White and Rowetta from ITV's X-Factor.

The line-up for the event, organised by Southern FM, was announced live on air yesterday.

Blue heart-throbs Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe will take to the stage separately to perform solo.

They are no strangers to the concert, having appeared last year and in 2001 and 2002.

McFly will provide their brand of high-energy punk pop and children of the Eighties will get a treat as Bananarama make a comeback.

Ex-A1 singer Ben Adams, who has gone solo, will be performing in his new soulful style and former X-Factor diva Rowetta will give fans a sneak preview of her debut album to be released in September.

Freefaller, who made number eight with debut single Do This Do That, will be there as will girl band The Faders, whose bassist Toy graduated from Brighton Institute of Modern Music.

Southern FM breakfast show presenter Danny Pike, who will be host, said: "What a line up! We can absolutely guarantee there will be something to suit everyone's taste.

"I'm very much looking forward to seeing the Bananarama girls back on stage and the boys from Blue always give us a great performance. This year we have got such a great mix. Where else would you find McFly sharing a platform with the likes of Rowetta and Mark Owen?"
