<p>Festival fever incoming! We can&#8217;t wait for the <a href="https://sussex.muddystilettos.co.uk/culture/festivals/sussex-festivals-to-book-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="summer festival season (opens in a new tab)">summer festival season</a>, always a highlight here in Sussex, and we&#8217;re pretty impressed by some of the headliners that have been announced. Although exact dates have yet to be confirmed, the organisers of <a href="https://www.petworthfestival.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Petworth Festival (opens in a new tab)">Petworth Festival</a> have revealed none other than Adam Kay, doctor turned comedian and author of the runaway bestseller <em>This Is Going To Hurt</em>, will headline. Meanwhile, our inner 90s chick is screaming at the news none other than TLC (oh, Left-Eye, gone but never forgotten) will be at the Love Supreme festival at Glynde this summer. Expect to find me in the audience impressing absolutely nobody with my masterful command of <em>CrazySexyCool</em> in its entirety. </p>

His memory will be honoured with a bench on Brighton Palace Pier, in the rainbow colours of his signature outfit. </p>
