"Most people have been affected by cancer in some way in their lives and I'm sure would love to support this cause and have a great time doing it.

"The four bands playing are donating their talent and all proceeds will be donated to Relay For Life."

Revival Ashore will feature as the headline act for the night while Inflight Conversations, One Minute of Living, and One, Two, Many are sure to entertain young music fans.
