About Breaking Bands Festival

Alternative
Indie
Metal
Rock

Breaking Bands Festival is an event with the sole aim of bringing the very best of the bands of the future into one place to open up the festival season and show what they can do.

3 days action packed with rock, punk and metal bands from all over the UK mixing up the genres so there is always something for everyone.

Taking notes from the past 20 years of attending festivals and events, the organisers have put a year of planning into the good, the bad and the ugly to come up with a festival they would pay to go to themselves.

The organisers have promised a festival that people will want to return to again and again. Welcome to the Breaking Bands Festival, where you can discover your new favourite band.
