DAVY Knowles will headline a new Island music event called The Garden Party.

The local musician will return to the Isle of Man to play at the new festival which will take place in July.

He will perform alongside other local artists including Planes Over Paris, Über-room, The Heights, Anna Goldsmith, This Year’s Winner is, RedGap and many more.

The festival is being organised by those responsible for last year's Fockerfest music festival.

According to The Garden Party's Facebook page, the festival is "renamed but with the same unique vibe and mission – to support local charity, artists and businesses and to bring the Isle of Man the music the people want".

The Garden Party will take place on Friday, July 1 and Saturday, July 2 at Begoade Fields in Onchan.
