🎉 ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎉
(Grab a coffee... or refill that wine glass 🍷)
After finally catching our breath following an absolutely brilliant weekend with all of you last month, we were busy debating whether we'd put ourselves through it all again next year...
Then one very dedicated Kent Tribfest regular sent us a message reminding us that 2027 marks our 10th Anniversary.
Apparently, we had no choice. 😄
So we're delighted to confirm that Kent Tribfest 2027 will return to Quex Park from 28th–30th May 2027 for what promises to be our biggest and best celebration yet!
What a venue. What a team. What a crowd.
From the fantastic Quex Park staff, to a security team that could probably headline the main stage themselves, to the friendliest bar and food vendors around – and, of course, all of you who make the atmosphere so special – we're incredibly excited to do it all again.
💛 Thank you for making us feel so welcome at our new home. As many of you told us, it already feels like one big Kent Tribfest family.
A quick note on ticket prices:
You'll notice a small increase for 2027. Quex Park were incredibly generous with their introductory hire rates this year, but maintaining such a beautiful venue comes with significant costs. Much of the increase will go directly towards the venue hire and improving facilities across the weekend.
We've listened to your feedback and will be investing in additional toilets, bins and site services to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. These behind-the-scenes teams work incredibly hard (especially over a Bank Holiday weekend!) and it's important to us that they're properly supported and fairly paid.
🏕️ A couple of new additions for 2027:
• Thursday Early Entry Camping – A limited number of campers will be able to arrive from 5pm on Thursday 27th May for an additional charge.
• Camping Plus – Thanks to staff giving up some parking areas, we're introducing a small Camping Plus section closer to the music arena. Ideal for those who'd like to be nearer the action or who have mobility concerns. Check out the site map on our website to see if it's right for you - again, a small additional charge if this is for you.
Many festivals of our size are sadly disappearing as costs continue to rise, so we're hugely grateful that we're still here, preparing to celebrate 10 years of Tribfest memories. With your continued support, we'd love to keep this special weekend going for many years to come.
And the line-up?
Oh yes... we're planning a huge 80s-themed opening night, and trust us when we say we've got some incredible acts lined up for Saturday and Sunday too.
You don't get to celebrate 10 years without bringing in some top-class tribute artists. 😉
Thank you for all your support, kind comments, messages and emails. It genuinely means the world to us and makes all the hard work worthwhile.
Here's to 10 years of Kent Tribfest... and one unforgettable anniversary celebration in 2027! 🎶🎉
