Thank you to everyone that put us forward to be in the top 20 Festivals ❤️. Last year was the 1st one that we organised from scratch & are so glad to see we didn't mess up! This means a lot to us, and even if we don't make it to the top 5, we are proud of what we have achieved in such a short space of time, and hope to continue with keeping Steve's legacy going.
News on 2026 acts coming soon 😊.
