📆 23rd – 26th July 2026📍Hill Farm, OxfordshireLess than 25% of all tickets remaining – truckfestival.com/tickets

Truck Festival returns to Hill Farm in Steventon, Oxfordshire from 23-26 July with a wide swathe of music set across a large, but not challenging site.

Born in 1998 from a family’s celebration, Truck has grown into a familiar four-day midsummer scene, where multiple stages and informal spaces blend emerging names with more familiar performers in a countryside setting.

Across main and side stages there’s a mix of guitar-leaning bands, electronic-tinged sets and a scattering of experimental and indie currents.

Headlining slots are shared among The Maccabees, The Libertines, The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club and CMAT, with further contributions from Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream, The Vaccines, Circa Waves, Everything Everything and The Cribs. The wider bill threads through a varied roster including Friendly Fires, We Are Scientists, The Royston Club, Radio Free Alice, Black Honey, Kid Kapichi and a range of newer acts and local artists. NME+1

Beyond the music, Truck’s layout encourages wandering: smaller performance areas, communal spots and family-friendly camping zones intertwine with food stalls and art spots.

The pace tends toward relaxed days under open sky, spontaneous conversations between sets, and late-night rhythms in dedicated areas. Truck Festival

Up in the hills of South Wales, where the air is crisp and the farmland meets the sky, sits a festival unlike many others — Steelhouse Festival. Held each summer at a working farm near Aberbeeg in the Brecon Beacons, Steelhouse has earned a cult-like status since its start in 2011.

The next edition runs 24–26 July 2026. Wikipedia 1

⛰️ High-Altitude Rock & Campfire Community

What sets Steelhouse apart is… the setting.

This isn’t a flat field — it’s a hilltop farm with panoramic mountain views, giving the festival a character and atmosphere unlike typical flatland events. It’s often called the “highest official festival altitude” in the UK. Wikipedia 1

The crowd tends to be tight-knit and loyal — long-time lovers of rock, people who live for guitar solos, gritty vocals, and that shared roar when a band hits just right.

Yet Steelhouse keeps things friendly and welcoming: though smaller than massive mainstream festivals, it brings real energy and heart. steelhousefestival.com 1

🎸 Classic, Contemporary & Emerging Rock — All in One Weekend

Steelhouse’s line-ups always strike a balance.

You get hard rock and classic-rock anthems from established names — and opportunities for newer bands to shine. From blistering guitar solos to laid-back acoustic sets, from head-bangers to rock-singalong-all-nighters — the music stays true to Rock-with-a-capital-R. Wikipedia 2Festival Calendar UK 2

Once the main stage goes quiet for the night, the festivities don’t end.

Rock DJ sets, campfire chats, and that kind of after-party where you’re as likely to end up trading vinyl recommendations as you are to bond over beers and mountain air. steelhousefestival.com 1

🏕️ Camping, Glamping & Rugged Charm

Steelhouse offers a range of camping options: from traditional tents to glamping, camper-vans, and family-friendly pitches.

It’s rustic — this is a farm festival after all — so expect muddy boots, fresh air, and a bit of Welsh wilderness. If you’re after glitz, this isn’t it. If you’re after camaraderie, loud guitars and a horizon that stretches far beyond the stage lights — you’ve found it. Festival Calendar UK 1

Accessibility and practical details are taken care of: camping & festival tickets are usually bought together, there are separate day-tickets, and for fans waiting to book, the organisers often offer payment plans for weekend passes. steelhousefestival.com 1

🎯 Who Steelhouse Is For

• Rock purists and head-bangers — lovers of raw riffs, loud drums, and that primal festival energy.

• Fans of intimate, scenic festivals — rather than being a sea of people, you get community, closeness, and a real sense of place.

• Festival-camping lovers who don’t need luxury — this is about authenticity, sound, earth, and shared nights under the stars.

• Those who love discovering new bands — Steelhouse gives newcomers a platform, meaning you might witness the next big rock act up close.

Picture this: the sun setting behind rugged hills, a guitar riff slicing through crisp mountain air, a sea of campfires flickering in the darkness, and a crowd that chants, sings, and roars as one.

That’s Steelhouse. Wild, earthy, loud — and beautifully alive.

The much-loved Dorset Seafood Festival returns to Weymouth Harbour’free to attend on 4th & 5th July 2026.The Dorset Seafood Festival is heading back to its true home on the harbour. The free-to-attend event will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July 2026, bringing together the very best of Dorset’s seafood, chefs, local producers and live entertainment.

The festival has been running for 17 years, celebrating the region’s fishing heritage and vibrant food culture. At its height, the event drew crowds of more than 60,000 visitors to Weymouth Harbour. While the pandemic forced the festival to adapt to a new site and ticketed format, that change helped keep it alive through difficult times.Pippa Gibb, Director Dorset Seafood Festival commented: ?We’ve wanted to bring the festival back to the harbour for a long time, and 2026 is the year we can finally do it.

It’s where it belongs, and we’re incredibly proud to make this happen. We’re starting small, but with the community’s support, we can grow it again and keep it thriving.?The 2026 return marks an important milestone. With the recent support of Dorset Council, the festival can finally return to the harbour, something the community has wanted for years.

This partnership has given the festival the foundation it needs to make its long-awaited homecoming a reality.Cllr Richard Biggs, Dorset Council? Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Property and Assets and Economic Growth said: ?The Dorset Seafood Festival has long been part of what makes Weymouth special, and it’s great to see it returning to the harbour.

It brings in ?3.5million to the local economy so it is important that we support the festival’s homecoming and to work alongside the organisers to bring it back to the heart of the town.?The festival will initially take place on a smaller scale around the harbour near Weymouth Peninsula.

This is a necessary first step to rebuild sustainably and safely, following the harbour’s redevelopment. Festival Directors Sophie Kermani and Pippa Gibb who live and work in Weymouth and have been involved with the event since 2012. They previously worked in a PR capacity for the event which has regularly been listed in The Times, The Telegraph, Conde Nast Traveller, CNN, BBC Good Food and countless more publications as one of the ?Top 10 Food Festivals in the UK?.

More recently the pair have become festival directors determined to bring the festival back home to the harbour and free for all.The Dorset Seafood Festival has always relied on community spirit, and that remains true today. With free entry returning, organisers are appealing for local backing to help the event grow year on year.Sophie Kermani, Director Dorset Seafood Festival commented: ?We’re asking local people and businesses to get behind it, come along, and support what has always been one of Weymouth’s proudest events.

If you’re a business looking to get involved, there are fantastic sponsorship opportunities available. As PR professionals, we know how to make those partnerships work hard for our sponsors. The festival’s media reach has always been phenomenal, and this year will be no exception.?For sponsorship, trade or press enquiries, please contact: Sophie@dorsetseafood.co.uk For more information, visit www.dorsetseafood.co.uk or follow us Facebook Dorset Seafood Festival or on Instagram @dorsetseafoodfest

Birkenhead Punk Festival returns in 2026 with a line-up that reads like a lovingly scuffed roll-call of punk’s past, present, and gloriously unpolished future. Taking over multiple venues in Birkenhead’s Rock Quarter across 4th and 5th July, this is a weekend built for people who like their music loud, direct, and completely uninterested in good manners.At the sharp end of the bill are genuine heavyweights.

Girlschool bring decades of riff-driven authority, GBH remain one of hardcore punk’s most enduring wrecking crews, and Ruts DC continue to prove that post-punk spirit doesn’t fade with age, it just sharpens. Around them sits a carefully stacked undercard that captures the full spectrum of UK punk and its many mutations, from street-level anthems to ska-flecked bounce, anarcho fury, and pub-room chaos.What really defines Birkenhead Punk Festival, though, is its atmosphere.

This isn’t a fenced-off field with luxury add-ons and corporate shine. It’s a town-centre takeover where bands, fans, and bars blur into one loud, friendly sprawl. You can catch a set, grab a pint, argue about which era of punk mattered most, then dive straight back into the pit without missing a beat.

The venues are close, the crowds are committed, and the sense of community is as important as the noise.Tickets are sensibly priced, the line-up runs deep, and the ethos is refreshingly no-nonsense. For full details, tickets, and updates, head to https://www.birkenheadpunk.co.uk/ and prepare for a weekend where volume, sweat, and solidarity still rule.Bands confirmed Girlschool, Ruts DC, GBH, Dribox Disco, Ed Tudor Pole, Brigandage, Hung Like Hanratty, Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies, Biteback, Omega Tribe, MDM, Screaming Dead, Random Hand, Headsticks, Instant Agony, The Gaks, Iconoclasts, The Dry Retch, Spam Javelin, Dead Raze, Strip Search Tramp, Year Zero, Stuntface, The Dregs, Sally Pepper, Fallen Mixies, Men

Metal Magic Festival has built a cult reputation as one of Europe’s most passionate celebrations of classic and underground heavy metal. Taking place in Denmark, the festival is unapologetically dedicated to the spirit of traditional metal, with a line-up that spans NWOBHM, doom, speed, and obscure cult acts that rarely surface on larger bills.

It’s a space where deep cuts are celebrated and genuine discovery is part of the appeal.The atmosphere at Metal Magic is famously welcoming. Fans, bands, and organisers mingle freely, creating a communal feel that stands in contrast to the scale and distance of bigger metal events.

Sets are tight, loud, and focused, with an emphasis on musicianship and authenticity rather than spectacle. For many attendees, it’s as much about conversations, record swaps, and late-night debates as it is about the bands on stage.Production is deliberately no-nonsense, allowing the music to take centre stage.

That simplicity gives performances a raw edge, perfectly suited to the festival’s ethos. Whether you’re catching a revered veteran act or stumbling across a band you’ve never heard of, the sense of shared enthusiasm never fades.Metal Magic is ideal for metal fans who value depth, history, and community over mainstream polish.

It’s a festival that feels personal, principled, and proudly old-school. More information, including tickets and line-up details, is available at https://metal-magic.dk/.

Stone Techno Festival is a stripped-back, high-intensity celebration of underground electronic music, set against the raw industrial backdrop of Essen’s former Zollverein coal complex. This is a festival that leans fully into atmosphere: brutalist architecture, heavy basslines, and a carefully curated line-up that prioritises depth, texture, and momentum over headline spectacle.

Across multiple days, Stone Techno brings together leading figures from the international techno circuit alongside sharp-edged newcomers, creating a programme that rewards committed dancers and curious listeners alike.What sets the event apart is its sense of place.

The UNESCO-listed site becomes part of the experience, with cavernous spaces amplifying the physicality of sound and light. Expect long, immersive sets, meticulous sound design, and a crowd that’s there for the music first and last. There’s little in the way of distraction here: no gimmicks, no glossy festival frills, just a shared focus on rhythm, movement, and endurance.Stone Techno also has a strong reputation for production values.
