By Mancunian Matters staff

Rhythm Festival returns for another year of folk, blues and of course, rhythm – and Mancunian Matters are pleased to giveaway a pair of tickets to the event.

And all you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is email us here.

The festival rolls three events into one – Rhythm Festival, Rhythm Folk and Rhythm Blues and is set to rock out in Bedfordshire across the weekend of August 24-26.

Featuring the likes of Booker T, Hawkwind, Wilko Johnson, The Slackers, The Damned and Boomtown Rats, it is the only way to spend your August bank holiday if you like your rhythm and blues!

And all you have to do to win a pair of tickets to the whole weekend, including tickets to the three festivals as well as camping while there, is email us here.

With festival passes worth £119 each, and camping tickets at £36 each, this bundle is worth a £310 – but the lucky winner of our competition will go for free.

This is the first year that all three festivals have joined together and the line-up has been described as 'unmissable'.

One supergroup on the bill is King Mob, featuring cult guitar hero Chris Spedding, original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock, Pretenders drummer Martin Chambers, Sharks vocalist Stephen W Parsons (AKA Snips) and new guitar talent Sixteen.

The line-up also features: The Groundhogs, The Beat, Eddie and the Hotrods, Captain Sensible Band, Hank Wangford & the Lost Cowboys, The Magic Tombolinos, Delroy Williams & The Junction Band, Swans in Flight, Attila the Stockbroker, Here & Now, Three Bonzos & a piano, Crazy World of Arthur Brown and many, many more.

Rhythm Festival is based at Mansion House, Old Warren Park, Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, and the winning pair will have camping tickets. It is Friday August 24 until Sunday August 26.

The competition closing date is August 8. The editor's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
