Tayls, who has launched his own range of high quality wireless headphones, will be on hand at the two-day extravaganza which is set to feature some of the area's top emerging bands.

The former midfielder has been busy promoting the iT7X's - a range of dynamic headphones which feature a wireless Bluetooth function.

NEW! Number One Dad

As Villa's kit launch festival coincides with Father's Day, the three finalists in our Number One Dad competition will take to the stage on Sunday.

Supporters were asked to send in photos of their dads in Villa shirts along with a 100-word entry telling us why their dad is number one.

The winning entries in the top dad competition were Stephen Evans, James Walsh and Mark Davies.

The trio were entered into the competition by their children and will all receive a brand new Villa shirt.

As well as being presented with the new shirt, the three top dads will be joined on stage with their child to take part in a quiz to determine the overall winner.

The quiz will involve the child answering a series of questions to determine who knows their dad best.

A fantastic prize package is on offer for the overall winner, which will include a stadium tour of Villa Park and lunch for four people at the Fathers Day family fun event and a chocolate goodie box.
