Mel B and Pixie Lott announced as headliners for Flackstock 2025 as event honouring the late presenter moves to new location
Mel B and Pixie Lott will take to the stage this summer in honour of the late presenter Caroline Flack. They will be raising money for several mental health charities at Flackstock, which is being held for the fourth time on August 8 at Crystal Palace Bowl. The Spice Girl, 50, is set to close the event with a DJ set while singer Pixie, 34, will perform once again at the event. They are part of a star-studded lineup that includes Love Island alumni Wes Nelson, who will be performing with drag queen Carrie-Oke in the Neptune 's Choir. Boyzone legends Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy will also be on stage, performing for the first time as part of Boyzlife.

Alife Boe is also set to headline the event, which is described as being a family-friendly day out with more acts still to be announced. Caroline tragically died by suicide in February 2020 after reaching new heights as a presenter in the proceeding years as the face of Love Island. Flackfest was established in a bid to raise awareness of mental health issues by the late star's friends and family. It aids four causes said to be close to Caroline's heart - Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and Charlie Waller Trust. News of this year's lineup comes after Olly Murs got emotional after playing at the memorial festival last year. Following his set, Olly took to his Instagram stories to talk about the event following an emotional day remembering his close friend. Choking back tears, Olly said: 'Wow, what a night tonight, I just wanted to come on here and say thank you to everyone that came to Flackstock.' 'It was an emotional one tonight, the weirdest feeling this gig tonight, I've never had a feeling like it in all the years I've been performing. Olly and Caroline had close friendship and previously presented the X Factor spin-off show, the Xtra Factor, together for two series between 2011 and 2013 'This is Caroline's festival it's in her name it's for her and her family and all the incredible charities.' Olly added: 'I was very emotional going into it but I just think that you guys pulled through for me - the fans were incredible tonight, thank you for the love, the support- you guys singing.' Olly and Caroline had close friendship and previously presented the X Factor spin-off show, the Xtra Factor, together for two series between 2011 and 2013. Ahead of the performance, Olly shared throwback videos of himself working with Caroline over the years. Alongside the videos, he wrote: 'Been reminiscing a lot these last few weeks knowing Flackstock is today! Caz loved singing, we did it so much, didn't always capture those moments on camera but I did capture them as memories which I'll never forget. 'So I thought I'd put some of these clips on here that I found of her beautiful voice! She sang more than me when I was around her.'

Flackstock line up revealed as Spice Girl and 00s pop icons join festival in memory of Love Island's Caroline Flack
SPICE Girl Mel C, popstar Pixie Lott and vocalist Alfie Boe lead the line-up for Flackstock's annual festival - which heads to London this summer. The family-friendly day of music and performance celebrates the life of late Love Island anchor Caroline Flack and raises both awareness of mental health and cash for related charities. 8 8 8 8 Caroline's loved ones decided that they wanted to set up the festival as a way to cope with their own grief and bring people together to remember the presenter, who passed five years ago. This time around, the event has moved to a new venue in Crystal Palace Bowl, London, as part of South Facing Festival. Wannabe hitmaker Mel C will close the event on August 8 with a top DJ set. Yet during the day, Alfie and Pixie will take to the stage, as well as Boyzlife - who are making their Flackstock debut. S Club 7's Jo O'Meara and Jon Lee will be bringing further pop to the proceedings while Love Island alum-turned-musician Wes Nelson is also on the setlist. Carrie-Oke – in memory of Caroline – will feature the Neptunes Choir with Mazz Murray and Ginger Johnson bringing the good vibes, with more acts yet to be released. Last year, Caroline's close pal and former The Xtra Factor co-host Olly Murs headlined the event, filled with comedy, dance and music. Meanwhile, the festival committee includes Caroline's mother Christine and sister Jody, and friends Natalie Pinkham, Dawn O'Porter, Anna Blue, Sarah Tyekiff and Katie Joyce. Co-Founder, actress and writer Dawn, said of the 2025 event - the fourth of its kind: "This year we are in London on the tube route and it's on a Friday too – so we can all party for the weekend at Flackstock. "It's also the best day out for kids – the perfect introduction to festival season for all the family. "It's a wonderful safe site. Surrounded by beautiful trees and the stage floats on a lake. "There is plenty of space for all our usual activities like the Mindfulness Tent, a VIP section and there will be the usual loads of food vendors and of course, plenty of bars. "We cannot wait for a fresh take on our fourth year in existence – and an amazing line up!' Money raised from Flackstock 2025 will once again be split equally between Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and Charlie Waller Trust – four worthy outlets that held a special place in Caroline's heart. A fifth charity, the Flackstock Fund has also been revealed and will be supporting other mental health charities throughout the year. So far, the festival has raised over £700,000 for the charities. Love Island host Caroline, 40, took her own life in February 2020. Last year, the committee said: 'Flackstock was an incredible way to remember Caroline, but it became so much more — a place full of joy where people felt comfortable talking about mental health. 'There has been an overwhelming desire for us to return.' Flackstock runs on Friday August 8 from 4pm at Crystal Palace Bowl. Tickets are on sale now. 8 8 8
