Alt-Fest

Alt-Fest is being held in the beautiful countryside location of Boughton Estate near Kettering. Our delightful greenfield festival site is less than a 1 hour drive from Birmingham and less than 90 minutes by car from central London (55 minutes by train). Alt-Fest will boast 5 days of camping and 3 days of live music, with over 180 bands spread over 7 festival zones. As well as dedicated Metal, Gothic, Industrial and Steampunk stages, Alt-Fest will host an eclectic main stage line-up that will be topped by the MASSIVE headline acts that YOU VOTED FOR.

Not bothered about the music? You've come to the right place. Alt-Fest will also have a full size circus big top, with all day circus, side shows, burlesque and theatre. Plus art, workshops, activities and, many, many attractions including a dedicated children's zone - kids 12 and under are also free at Alt-Fest! Watch the bands; lose yourself in the enchanted (and themed) woodland; camp on site or stay in local accommodation; and with a massive shopping village as well there will always be something amazing for you to see and do at Alt-Fest!

Best of all is all of this is decided by you. You ask and we deliver. You want the car parks to be closer to the campsites, you've got it. You want more (and nicer) toilets on site, you've got it. You want to have a say what activities we have onsite for children over the weekend, let us know and we'll book. Alt-Fest is crowd led: This means YOU have a say in every part of the festival - you say, we listen! Post YOUR ideas in our forum and vote on the potential headliners
