Pet-loving music stars Kaiser Chiefs, Jessie J and The Vamps are all taking to the stage for a brand new charity festival next month in Cheltenham.

PDSA, which is celebrating its 100th birthday, recognises that pets are a huge part of family life so for this special anniversary year it has created a festival that invites dogs to be part of the fun of the day and provides entertainment for pet and music lovers alike.

As well as the live music line-up, visitors to the event can explore a whole host of different festival areas including a performance arena, pet wellbeing zones, 2km and 5km walking routes, dog training and play spaces, a farmer's market and food and shopping areas.

Multi-platinum-selling Jessie J, whose new album R.O.S.E. will be released this year, said: "Pets are a wonderful part of our lives. My French Bulldog, Jackson, makes me smile every day. As well as raising funds for a great cause, PDSA PetLife'18 combines people's love of pets and music; two of my favourite things! I simply can't wait."

Lee Moulson, Regional Head of Sales at Cheltenham Racecourse, said: "Everyone at Cheltenham Racecourse is so pleased to be working with PDSA to provide a venue for PDSA PetLife '18 and we look forward to hosting this fantastic event. With such a strong line-up, it is going to be a wonderful event and one that all the family will be able to enjoy. As well as being a great day for all involved, it is an opportunity to generate vital funds for a much-loved charity."

Tickets for PDSA PetLife'18 are on sale now here. For ticket buyers wishing to bring their canine companions to the festival, dogs must be registered in advance as places will be limited and available on a first come first served basis.
