Triumph Live will see three music stages in festival marquees, motorcycle stunt displays and exhibitions, food, stalls and markets take over the grounds of the Heritage Motor Centre on Saturday (July 12).

Headlining the event are Sheffield-based indie pop band, Reverend and The Makers - whose hits include Heavyweight Champion of the World and The Only One - and rock group Toseland - whose lead singer is former World Superbike champion James Toseland - taking the main stage from 6pm.

Other acts performing include the 2010 Triumph Live ‘battle of the band’ winners The Dunwells, Rook and The Ravens, The Travelling Band and Jeramiah Ferrari.

Exciting stunt shows will take place through the day by riders including ‘Mr Showtime’ international trials champion Steve Colley, extreme stunt rider Kevin Carmichael and and Triumph Street Triple star Julien Welsch. There will also be a Triumph memorabilia and custom bike display and the latest range of Triumph motorcycles and clothing and accessories.

Event manager Gareth Bright said: “This year’s event has attracted some fantastic musical talent. We’re delighted to have such a varied group of performers and we are determined to make this year’s Triumph Live a fantastic day out for riders, music lovers and their families.”

Since the last event in 2012, the festival has moved from Mallory Park in Leicestershire to Gaydon to enable easier access for visitors.

Tickets cost £28 or free for under-18s accompanied by an adult. Camping is available from £12 per person.
