WHAT'S ON
Main Stage
We'll be building a larger stage than seen in previous years from which we'll showcase our biggest headliners to date. The main-stage will be the festival's central, outdoor stage and will be hosting the most diverse line-up of talent that any of our stages have to offer; you'll find something for everyone on here! Hang around here for THE BLOCKHEADS, CHRIS DIFFORD (SQUEEZE), THE PINS, GARRISON FINISH and LOADS more...
Acoustic Marquee
The Alan Baker Acoustic Marquee has always been incredibly popular, with some festival-goers barely leaving it for the whole weekend. This year we have another incredible line-up of local talent, along with the odd troubadour from slightly further afield; all here to sing their hearts out with the raw, stripped-back passion that acousic-based music so perfectly exposes. Expect fine performances from the likes of EZIO, BOO HEWERDINE, THE JAMIE FALLON BAND and THE JJ ZARBO EXPERIENCE.
Rock Stage
Last year's new addition, the Rock Stage saw a packed crowd enjoying eclectic sets from some of the greatest bands around. Once again this tent will see an awesome line-up of hotly tipped acts that are sure to get the crowd dancing and screaming for more; a large portion of the kind of bands currently thriving in the ever-expanding local music scene. This is the place for storming sets by I DREAM IN COLOUR, MORNING PARADE, ANGRY VS. THE BEAR AND Road-To-V winners THE LAST REPUBLIC.
Arts Stage
The Arts area sees somewhat of an over-haul this year as another part of our festival expands! A dedicated stage will host various sets from Theatre Groups and performers.
Beer Tent & Sessions
As you’d expect, no festival would be complete without a beer tent, and the Stortford Music Festival is no different with a marquee allowing punters to enjoy drinks including a specially brewed festival ale!. As well as being a place to socialise and drink in the festival atmosphere, the beer tent will also host an open mic session AND stand-up comedy. If you're a budding musician, remember to bring along an instrument and sign-up early to take part.
Capture The Spirit!
Other attractions at this year’s bash include a market area, a selection of stalls offering everything from arts and crafts to fair-trade lunches, CDs, toys and clothes; a chill-out tent to allow festival goers the chance to relax and wind down to the soothing sounds of ambient DJs.
