Thousands are expected to descend on the War Memorial Park in July.

Competition Godiva Calling will be returning this year and is showcasing more up-and-coming talent than ever before, Cllr Abdul Salam Khan said. Nine Coventry and Warwickshire-based artists will be selected.

Coventry City Council has teamed up with Music Smart to offer an 'incredible' prize package which includes a professional photoshoot and CD printing. Winners will also be lucky enough to perform on the Main Stage alongside Ocean Colour Scene, Marc Almond, and Clean Bandit.
