2026, that’s you wrapped up.
And honestly, what a day.
Whether you bought a ticket, played a set, worked a stage, pulled a pint, scanned a wristband, drove a bus, opened your venue, fed the crew, shared a post or simply showed up - thank you.
There was a moment on Saturday when we turned the corner onto Tanners Bank and the whole street was flooded with people, all seemingly having the best time. That really is what it's all about.
Community. Discovery. Grassroots venues. New music. Shared spaces. People coming together and making something feel bigger than the sum of its parts.
2027 will be our fifth edition, and we want it to be our very best yet.
We’d love to hear from you - what worked, what could be better, what you want to see more of, and where we can take this next.
Ultimately, this festival belongs to the people who bring it to life.
