Rotherham Show is one of the most anticipated events in the town’s social calendar. One of the largest free events in the north it is guaranteed to bring fun and entertainment to around 70,000 visitors. The weekend is a time when the whole community can get together to celebrate what is good about our town. It is a time for us to come together as “one town, one community”, and to enjoy live music, a wealth of entertainment, and a large number of events. This year, as usual, it is being held in our award winning Clifton Park just 10 minutes’ walk from the town centre. Now in its 3rd decade, the show has a wide range of activities for all ages and tastes and many varied stalls and exhibitors. There are still many old favourites, and some new additions this year which include Rother FM Music Festival, held at the bandstand, and the Yorkshire Strongman Competition, which is sure to give the crowd a “lift”. That RMBC hosts and organises such a successful event makes me extremely proud and whenever anybody asks me to give an example of Rotherham at its best I immediately think of this beautiful award winning park and this amazing show. Months of planning goes into making sure the weekend goes ahead, with enough to entertain the thousands who visit and ensure that everyone leaves happy. I would like to thank the council events team who put the whole thing together and the many council staff who help with everything from car parking to litter picking. A special big thanks has to go to the other organisations who support this weekend - the police, ambulance service, fire service and Air Cadets, to name a few, also to Flutterbies Nursery for their support at this year’s show. Our sponsor this year, Dearne Valley College, deserves a special mention. However, the most important thank you goes to you, the visitors to the show who support and help make the event one to remember. We know that Rotherham is a town with a big heart and together we will show that the heart of it, this weekend, is at the Rotherham Show. Tell your friends and family, let them see Clifton Park, and Rotherham, at its best and let’s be proud of our town together. Enjoy this great show!

Music Festival We are proud to present, NEW for 2015, the Rother FM Music Festival. This two-day spectacular of musical entertainment from local talent, fabulous tribute bands, jazz, folk and more offers something for every age and taste at the historical Bandstand which was graced by Marc Bolan himself, with his iconic band, T-Rex, in August 1971. SATURDAY Saturday kicks off with some brilliant home-grown talent introducing three bands from the Rotherham College Music Academy from 11am until 1pm and then continuing into the afternoon with three fantastic tribute bands. The Katy Perry Tribute Show Bring along your candy floss and cupcakes and you’ll definitely be in for a special treat with this fantastic tribute show. Every dance move, song and costume is perfected to make you feel like you are watching the real deal with all the biggest hits including I Kissed a Girl, California Girls, Firework, Teenage Dream and many more. An amazing not to be missed show! Take That 2 This is an incredibly professional and polished show. It’s clear that all members of Take That 2 have studied every detail of their character in depth, so when you see them you really feel like you are watching the genuine thing. They were even asked to perform at the 02 Arena “after party” the same night as the actual Take That were there. Take That 2 quite simply rule the tribute world! Queen II The UK’s premier Queen tribute band will be headlining the day’s entertainment, faithfully recreating the energy, excitement and emotion of the band’s live concerts with an authentic four piece line-up, delivering powerful vocals and driving rock anthems. Performing hits from every decade of Queen’s legacy, Queen II truly are the Champions of Tributes. 15 SUNDAY Sunday begins with some more great local talent from singer-songwriter Steph Little and then three bands from the Rotherham College Music Academy again from 11am until 1pm and followed by some truly fantastic live jazz and folk including Colin Yates Big Band, Jez Lowe and The Jives Aces. Colin Yates Big Band With their extensive repertoire, Colin Yates Big Band recreates musical styles including Glenn Miller, Count Basie and Stan Kenton. This 17 piece South Yorkshire Band has toured all over the UK and Europe and we look forward to them returning to Rotherham Show again this year. Jez Lowe Jez Lowe has built an enviable reputation as an award winning songwriter and acoustic performer with 20 albums and countless performances around the world over the last 30 years. As one of the busiest and most in-demand performers on the current acoustic music scene we are delighted to have Jez join us to perform at this year’s Music Festival.
