The second headliner for the Saturday of Ramblin Man Fair has been announced as multi-platinum album selling band Extreme who perform this summer as a UK exclusive. Commenting on the announcement, Extreme member Nuno Bettencourt said “There will always be a special place for the UK in our hearts. Way before More Than Words hit around the world, The UK was “Getting The Funk Out”. Recognizing Extreme as a rock band first and foremost has and will always connect us. Cannot wait to rock with you at Ramblin’ Man!!!”  

His bandmate Gary Cherone also spoke of his excitement “We are honoured to be headlining the Ramblin’ Man Fair. Extreme has always had a special relationship with the UK fans and we look forward to a great night.”
