NFEST isn’t all volume — it’s about moments too. 🌿

Joining us for the first time:

🌾 Fenland Booty
Americana storytelling, soulful ballads + a few classic covers.

🌍 OpenCircle Singers & Drummers
Global folk harmonies + West African rhythms — and a proper feel-good singalong.

Two acts to slow things down (just enough).

🎶 Saturday 27 June

This week = LINEUP DROP. ⚡️

NFEST is for people who love live music.

Not just covers. Not just one sound.

We’re talking indie / folk / dreampop / funk / blues / punk / Americana / classic & hard rock, featuring some seriously good original acts.

We back new talent. We give young artists a proper stage.
And yeah - bands actually love playing here.

Friday gets louder.
Saturday gets messy (in the best way).
