Balter Festival returns with final edition in 2025

Balter Festival has confirmed it will return with its eleventh and final edition on Thursday 22nd - Sunday 25th May 2025 (Spring bank holiday weekend) at Chepstow Racecourse in Chepstow. Tickets are on sale now! 

The self-described “UK’s maddest small festival” is all about letting go of your inhibitions and having the most fun possible to the sounds of some of the hottest artists and DJs spanning bass music, DnB, jungle, garage, hardstyle, ska, punk, and more. 

With “balter” in its name, meaning to dance clumsily but with enjoyment, its ethos is all about freedom and having a ball, which is likely why the festival earned such a loyal following over the years. 

The festival may be the biggest Spring bank holiday weekend bash next year, as per usual. And since it’ll be the festival’s final gathering, we’d bet the team behind it will be going all out to ensure it goes out with a bang. 

No artists have been confirmed to be performing at the 2025 festival just yet but their lineups are always incredible. To give you an idea of what to expect, the festival's 2024 lineup featured Andy C, Kurupt FM, Mandidextrous, Guigoo, SOTA, [IVY], Jam Baxter, MPH, Henge, A.M.C ft. Phantom, Fant4stik, Billx, Badger, Phibes, and many more, plus takeovers and stages from Off Me Nut, Dubtendo, Make Hardcore Happy Again, Scotland Yard, and more.

Tickets for the final edition of Balter Festival go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday 30th Oct) at 7pm. Sign up now towards the bottom of this page to get one step closer to carefree dancing and incredible artists.
