REGIONAL FESTIVAL LOCATIONS

Music for Youth plans to hold Regional Festivals at the following venues. If there is 'tbc' next to any event we'll put up-to-date information here as soon as soon as we have it.

This year we will be making it easier for Rock, Pop & Urban groups to take part in our events  Not only have we increased the number of Rock, Pop & Urban specific Festivals we hold, we have also opened up a number of our regular Regional Festivals to rock bands, pop groups, hip-hop outfits etc.  Look out for all venues with inc RPU next to them; this means that this venue is able to take Rock, Pop & Urban groups.

If you would like to host a Regional Festival please contact Music for Youth.

Festivals are listed alphabetically within their region. Click on the venue name to see a location map.
