Organiser of Holbeach Music and Beer Festival announces line-up for 2024 event

A top class line-up of tribute bands has been announced for a popular beer and music festival next year.

Holbeach Music and Beer festival will be returning in August next year with an added extra of a comedy night.

Organiser Sean Taylor, who was overwhelmed with help from volunteers when heavy rain affected last year’s festival, said: “We’re proud to be celebrating our 10th festival and we welcome everyone to join the party over the weekend.”

Some 17 main stage performances and tribute acts are on the line-up for the festival, which runs from, August 1 – 4, including Guns N’ Roses, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Blondie, James, Ultra 90s v 2000s featuring Kelly Llorenna, Hip Hop Hooray and Groove Cartel. And some brilliant bands are still to be announced.

New to the four-day festival will be a comedy night on Thursday August 1 – and early bird tickets are up for grabs for £5.

Alongside the comedy there will be a band and DJ set to close the evening along with free camping pitches and shuttle bus.

Mr Taylor said: “We have quickly established ourselves as a well organised, respected and now one of the most popular family friendly community events in Lincolnshire that 'brings the community together' for the annual must go to gathering.

“We have always tried to deliver the very best value for money and entertainment including sourcing the best live bands, stage, production, sound crew, beers, ales, ciders, food, funfair and activities.

“We are looking for sponsors and partners once again and if any businesses or individuals can help please get in touch to discuss our sponsorship packages.”

The event has lots to do including a funfair, VIP marquee, trade stands, kids zone, giant sand pit, disabled viewing platform and beer tent with real ales and ciders.

Mr Taylor added: “We encourage our guests to get the full festival experience by camping with us and enjoying the atmosphere. All our camping tickets are for the duration of the event – four nights, Thursday to Monday – and include your weekend entry festival passes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”

There are 500 earlybird tickets up for grabs. These are available by visiting www.holbeachfestival.co.uk for further details.
