Regan said of his headlining slot, ' I'm really looking forward to Hard Working Class Heroes. I believe the festival is an important exhibition of the talent here in this country, it unearths the diamonds, shines a light into the mine. I’ve assembled a new band and they are firing on all cylinders and I'm very excited about getting back on the road to put across the new album, it's a strong bucket brimming from a deep well... '
