People from as far as Australia could make the trip to Workington in May for the town's newest music festival.

Atomic Kitten, 5ive, A1 and Kelly Llorenna will headline TownFest, organised by Workington Town, on May 20.

Les Smallwood, business development director for the club, said online ticket sales were going well for the event.

Among those who have enquired about the event are an A1 fan from Australia who travels the globe to follow them, the club said.

Other music fans are set to travel from Ireland and the Isle of Man.

As well as the headliners, acts set to perform at the event include Late Night Legacy, Reptilians, Dicky Dippinson and Holborn Hillbillies.

The event is the first of its kind organised by the club and will take place at its Derwent Park homes.

Mr Smallwood said it was hoped it could become a regular feature of the town's calendar.

He added: "If this is a success I can't see why it can't be an ongoing thing.

"If this is positive we'll definitely be doing more.

"It saves people travelling to watch these groups.

"It will be a great day not just for the club but the wider community and businesses of West Cumbria."

Tickets cost £35 and are available to buy from the Workington Town club office and online at tickets.tygit.com
