Announcements

Its almost time for this years festival, as tents and equipment are already being loaded into our beloved showground. We have unfortunately had to make an adjustment to the Saturday lineup. It makes us really sad to say this out loud but we are not able to present you with The Fratellis as originally planned.  We have waited as long as possible to make this heart wrenching decision in the hope that ticket sales would reflect the investment in such a huge headline band but even with the worrying trend of people buying last minute tickets taken into account it is not possible for us to fulfill their contract and pay the balance of the fee and put on a sustainable event. This is no reflection on the band who have been more than helpful in trying to get this over the line! 

As disappointing as this is we hope you can still offer the same support and enthusiasm to our non corporate, independent and unsponsored festival, powered mainly by community and kindness along with your highly valued ticket money contributions, by getting behind us and coming to enjoy what is still an amazingly good value lineup for the ticket price you pay.  Keeping the festival affordable has always been our main aim to encourage greater numbers to join our Heal community but in a world where money is tighter and the corporate festival machines corner the majority, without the necessary uptake on our lineup which we expanded to try and offset the industry downturn, sensible decisions have to be made for the greater good, i.e the festival going ahead as planned with still over 120+ acts, multiple stages, attractions and wellness, supporting charity and moving on into the future!

Plans are afoot to rejig the lineup and add some more sparkle where possible, and all 2025 ticket buyers will be offered a super, super, early bird ticket for the 2026 edition, or special gift post event, as a way to offset the disappointment and reward for your loyalty and understanding.

Big love to everyone out there still supporting smaller events, and everyone that has helped Heal Festival on the journey so far! 

See you in a couple of weeks!
