Main Stage

The Main Stage in the Orange Zone, set inside our Big Top, offers a classic festival feel with great sound and uplifting performances in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It will host a vibrant mix of bands and ensembles throughout the day, from blues and folk to rock, steel pan, jazz and more.

Palmer Stage

The Palmer Stage in the Pink Zone showcases artists in a stripped-back setting that puts the focus on voices, instruments and musical connection. The Palmer Stage features joyful choirs, acoustic folk, and emerging solo performers.

Get ready – our full stage lineup will be announced here soon. Keep an eye on our social media to stay updated.
