Canadian born rocker Bryan Adams has been confirmed as the star attraction which will represent Adams’s only UK festival performance in 2017.

Festival Director Hugh Phillimore said: “Ever since I saw an awesome performance at Wembley way back, I’ve been trying to bag a show with Bryan; pestering him for over 20 years.

Mr Adam’s, who has dual Canadian and British nationality, has achieved international success with a string of multi-million selling albums.

Bryan Adams will add to an already impressive list of global rock stars that have graced the Cornbury stage over the years including Bryan Ferry, Joe Cocker, Amy Winehouse and Robert Plant.

Mr Phillimore said: “We’ve hosted a marvellous annual party for our loyal audience – the odd royal, multigenerational families, aristocracy, Prime Ministers, film stars, farmers, rockers, and ladies who make exceedingly good cakes.
