Lazydays Festival 2027

About Lazydays Festival

At Priory Park in Southend-on-Sea, Lazydays Festival 2027 runs as a pop-led music festival with a licensed maximum capacity of 6,500.

The 2027 edition runs from 23–25 July 2027 at Priory Park, Southend-on-Sea. The festival began in 2023 as a project by Andy, Elliott and Mike after local gig promotion, festival-going and charity fundraisers.

It stays local in make-up. Lazydays describes itself as an independent, community-run Southend festival using local producers and artists.
