Chart topping\u00a0\u2018Love Me Again\u2019 singer John Newman will also be taking\u00a0part alongside Spandau Ballet\u2019s frontman Tony Hadley.<br \/>Plus, 2012 X Factor winner James Arthur has also been\u00a0announced as a supporting act. Although steeped in\u00a0controversy, including Twitter rows and run-ins with X\u00a0Factor boss Simon Cowell, James\u2019 gravelly voice is second\u00a0to none and hits like \u2018Impossible\u2019 should make for an\u00a0entertaining set.<\/p>\n<p>Definitely one to go to chill out and enjoy good music\u00a0in the sun. This is not a Monegros or Sonar event, more\u00a0like a top stage at Glastonbury to sing along to and enjoy\u00a0the talent with top class acts with an audience that\u00a0will not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>Held in the main square, Casemates, it is only a short\u00a010 minute walk the Gibraltar\/Spain border. We highly\u00a0recommend parking in nearby Spanish town La Linea\u00a0as opposed to driving into the event to avoid huge border\u00a0queues in your car. Just don\u2019t forget your passport.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-736\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/06\/logo-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gibraltar Music\u00a0Festival is now only\u00a0in its third year and is\u00a0managing to make headlines for attracting\u00a0top global talent, despite competing\u00a0with the Spanish mainland festivals. \u00a0Gibraltar may be an island surrounded\u00a0by Spain, Morocco and controversy,\u00a0but it is definitely getting\u00a0the acts.
