Nowadaze 2027

About

Small crew, huge heart. Powered by a love for music, dance and bringing people together.

We want to share the good vibes with you!

Who are we?

Nowadaze is a 2 (and a half) day camping, music and art festival set in the fields of Yate surrounding Bristol. Our vibe is authentic, and focuses on quality production, community and great people, all for an affordable ticket price aiming to be as inclusive as possible. We bring a serious party and have hosted some big names over the years including; Plastician, Frazer Ray, Yemz and Buunshin.

Nowadaze hosts an array of artists, musicians, speakers and food vendors, with a focus on supporting local business and suppliers. We are Bristol-centric! All of our food vendors, alcohol suppliers, audio equipment hire, art traders are from the surrounding area. We are super proud of that!

Inclusive pricing

We price our tickets very reasonably (starting from £85 for 3 nights of camping and 2 days full of music). This is with the hope to create a more accessible event for people from all economic backgrounds.

With mainstream festivals rising to obscene prices it's our ambition to prove it's possible to party without the inflated prices. We have 4 stages that host 175 individual artists ranging from dance (pick an electronic genre, we've got it), rock, jazz, metal, world and many more.

We focus on producing high quality, immersive shows at an affordable price - even when limited by tight budgets.

Diversity

Diversity is at the forefront of our ethos, and our performer gender statistics back this up year after year. In 2024 over 37.5% of the acts at Nowadaze are female and non-binary (we are still collecting data for 2025 but we expecting to improve on our gender representation), and we'd like to lead the way in providing a safe and diverse environment for under represented groups in the music industry.

As a collective, we've been contributing to Bristol's grassroots music scene for 7+ years, organizing events that have given a stage to countless local artists, many experiencing their debut performances. We've been at the forefront of showcasing the city's diverse talent at venues including Cosies, Basement 45, Crofters Rights, The Exchange, Cloak and Dagger and Take 5 to name a few. We've hosted crowds from 50-500 people and always aim to put on a fantastic and engaging event.

Our future

We want to share the love and good times with more of you! We plan to increase capacity, production and inclusivity as much as we can in coming years. We couldn't have got this far without all of your support, so thank you all so much!
