ABC frontman Martin Fry who scored chart hits in the 1980s with The Look of Love and When Smokey Sings said
“I’m really looking forward to performing at the Let’s Rock festivals in 2020. Sunshine guaranteed. Last time round was incredible from the audience through to every act involved. See you there.”
Kim Wilde who charted with a succession of hits in the 1980s including Kids in America, You Came and You Keep Me Hanging On has said of the Let’s Rock event:
“We’re privileged to play shows all over the world, but there’s very little that can match the warmth and fun of a Let’s Rock crowd. We always have an amazing time and enjoy watching the other acts just as much as the audience does! Bring on 2020!”

Let’s Rock organisers Nick Billinghurst & Matt Smith also commented,
“That we’re able to provide such an incredible line-up and to grow Let’s Rock every year is down to our amazingly loyal and up-for-it audience, and we’d like to thank each one of you for a fantastic 2019 season. Roll on summer 2020!”
