Band applications for this year now closed
The application process for bands to play at the 2023 festival is now closed, and we are starting the long, detailed but enjoyable review and selection process.
We have received more applications this year than ever before, so there are a lot of videos to watch and discussions to be had. We will contact all applicants in early March to let them know whether they have been successful.
As soon as we have finalised the gig schedules, they will be available here on the website - we expect this to be in late March.
