New Heights Festival

A music festival located in Newent, Gloucestershire. Supporting the best new, up and coming artists. https://newheightsfestival.co.uk/buy-tickets/

Lets talk a bit about the gang! We are 6 friends from a small town in Newent, just outside of Gloucester. Life in Newent is good, however we have all felt for many years now that there is nothing to offer the younger generation apart from sport (the sport is great). We have all used the sports clubs and facilities available to us throughout the years, but now we are in our late 20’s/early 30’s, we

are all either injured or too old for sport. It’s safe to say our football and rugby days are behind us. So this is when this amazing idea came to light. We all go to gigs together at any opportunity and also go to Festivals every year. Man, we love a good festival. So we thought “why don’t we give it a go ourselves?”. We are trying to create an event for the younger generation in our local area and as we all share a love for live music, doing a Music Festival was the obvious route to go down. Now here we are! We believe we can make this event amazing, and we know we won’t disappoint for one main reason. This is a passion project for all of us. Two of us play in a band called ‘Naked Image’ and have been playing music together for nearly 20 years now, so we have a good understanding of live music and how it connects with the audience. The rest of us equally share a love for live music and all have experience in different areas, which is perfect for creating this dream team. Also, most of us have our own separate businesses, so we share a love for business and strive to create success. We feel this is key to making this a successful music festival which will stand the test of time!

Official New Heights Festival Update

After much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision not to go ahead with New Heights Festival 2026. Our first festival was always expected to be a learning experience both personally and financially, but unfortunately, last year’s event resulted in even greater losses than we anticipated.

We want to take a moment to thank every single person who supported us, whether that was by attending, sponsoring, performing, volunteering, or helping in any way. Your support has meant the world to us, and we genuinely appreciate it.

BUT, this isn’t the end for New Heights. To keep the music alive and continue building our community, we’re launching New Heights Nights - a series of gig nights across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire. These events will:
Bring the awareness of our festival to more music lovers.
Help raise funds for a potential future festival when the timing is right.

Our first New Heights Nights takes place on Saturday 28th February at the Steam & Whistle Pub in Cheltenham. The night will feature four incredible live bands/artists, and to close things out, we’ve got Barry from the Dub Pistols spinning a DJ set - a pretty big deal!

🎟 Tickets: £15 online | £18 on the door
🕔 Doors open at 5 PM

We truly hope to see you there and share another incredible night of music together. Thank you again for being part of the New Heights journey so far - this is just a blip in the road, not the end.

— The New Heights Festival Team
