Headlining proceedings on Saturday, August 12 will be The Magic Numbers, a band who quickly won the affection of critics and audiences with their Mercury nominated, top ten, double platinum, self-titled debut in 2005.

They honed and refined their guitar and harmony sound on Those The Brokes (2006) before widening out with a more piano and studio based set on 2010’s The Runaway.

With their sunshine harmonies and commitment to delighting audiences, The Magic Numbers have gained a reputation as purveyors of very upbeat pop rock and are a perfect way to close proceedings on Stendhal for another year.
