A New Era Rises
Breaking Bands Festival has taken its final bow after a decade of championing grassroots music. The journey that began in 2015 attracted a loyal following and earned the title of Best Grassroots Music Festival at the UK Festival Awards 2023. With that chapter now complete, it is time to evolve into something greater.
Ascendancy Festival rises from that legacy, not as a replacement but as the next chapter. It is a home where emerging artists grow, where fans discover their future favourites, and where the community that built Breaking Bands continues to thrive.
This is the future of the movement.
This is ASCENDANCY
Disabled Facilities: Fully disabled friendly. Flat grass, no hills or slopes, disabled camping and parking right next to the arena, disabled toilets.
