Get ready for a weekend of music magic at Tribfest 2026, held from 21st to 23rd August at the stunning Sledmere House estate in East Yorkshire. This family-friendly festival is widely known as one of the world’s biggest tribute band events. For three days, fans of every generation sing and dance to their favourite hits, performed by over 50 tribute acts. Set in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, Tribfest offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where everyone can make unforgettable memories.

The festival's line-up is sure to keep everyone entertained. With multiple stages spread across the festival grounds – including the Main Stage and the Big Top marquee – there is always something happening. You will hear timeless classics from rock, pop, indie and more, all delivered with energy. From iconic hits of decades past to modern favourites, the acts cover a wide range of genres. Every fan is sure to find a tribute band that feels like their dream concert come true.

But Tribfest isn't just about tribute bands. The fun continues around every corner with comedy shows and a dedicated KidZone for younger festival-goers. The Laughing Bull Comedy Tent keeps the laughs rolling, while there is even a special music barn for spontaneous dancing and singing. When hunger strikes, tuck into a festival feast: dozens of food trucks and stalls offer a tempting mix of street food, sweet treats and classic festival fare, along with local ales and refreshing drinks at the bars. Wander through craft stalls, enjoy games and soak up the joyful festival atmosphere.

What sets Tribfest apart is its warm community vibe. Started in 2007 by a family, the festival remains family-run and welcoming, attracting generations of music lovers year after year. Children can run free around the safe festival site and enjoy fun activities while parents relax and enjoy the live music. It is a weekend where families and friends come together across generations. Everyone from grandparents to kids hears songs they love and leaves with big smiles.

The location adds to the magic. Sledmere House, set in the peaceful Yorkshire hills, provides a charming backdrop of open fields. Camping is available on site, so you can pitch a tent or book a glamping hideaway and wake up just steps from the stage. Shower blocks, toilets and electrical hookups ensure a comfortable stay. Each evening, festival-goers relax around gently glowing campfires under the stars. With a friendly capacity of around 5,000 people, Tribfest never feels overcrowded – you are always close enough to make new festival friends or find familiar faces for a dance.

Above all, Tribfest is about unforgettable music memories. By day or night, you can dance, laugh and sing along under the open sky. Whether you are a dedicated tribute music fan or looking for a fun family weekend, you are guaranteed to leave Tribfest with a heart full of joy and a camera full of happy snapshots. Come and experience this legendary East Yorkshire summer festival – it is an event the whole family will treasure.
