Our love for Isle of Wight band CHAMPS is no secret, so we were chuffed to pieces when we heard they’d be performing at this year’s tenth anniversary Ventnor Fringe Festival.
Fresh from signing a three album record deal with BMG, Isle of Wight brothers Michael and David Champion, aka CHAMPS, will be heading to Harbourside for a now-rare hometown show.
The brothers are just back from Spain where they went down a storm in Madrid and we reckon the Ventnor show is going to be quite a party.
★★★★ – Guardian
Their second album, Vamala, picked up a fantastic four stars from the Guardian and nine out of ten from Back Seat Mafia. Their next album is being completed as we write and should be out by the end of the year or early 2020.

Celebrating ten years, the Ventnor Fringe Festival (23rd-28th July) brings a six day wonderland of pop-up bars and boutique venues, will this year feature nearly 150 performances of over 90 different shows, with more than 300 artists from across the world.
