After a brief hiatus in 2024, the much-loved 110 Above Festival is thrilled to announce its triumphant return from 28th to 30th August 2025 at the picturesque Gopsall Hall Farm in Leicestershire. Known for its intimate atmosphere and unwavering support for emerging talent, the festival is set to reaffirm its position as a cornerstone of the UK’s grassroots music scene.
In 2023, 110 Above Festival was shortlisted for three UK Festival Awards:
Lineup of the Year,
Grassroots Festival Award,
Best Festival for Emerging Talent.
These accolades underscored the festival’s commitment to both musical discovery and high-quality curation. While economic uncertainties led to a pause in 2024, the break has allowed the festival team to recalibrate and return with a sharpened focus on what makes 110 Above truly special: a platform for grassroots musicians and a uniquely personal experience for festival-goers.
The 2025 edition will put grassroots musicians at the heart of the festival, offering an unparalleled platform for rising stars in the indie, pop, alternative, and rock scenes. Attendees can expect to discover the next big names in music while enjoying performances in an intimate and breathtaking countryside setting.
“Our 2025 return is about more than just bringing the festival back—it’s about celebrating the heart and soul of live music. We’re doubling down on supporting emerging talent and creating those magical, personal moments that 110 Above is known for.” says Founder and Curator Michael Lain”
“It’s a space where music lovers can discover fresh talent while enjoying the unique atmosphere of a smaller, close-knit festival. The festival’s ethos revolves around celebrating creativity, fostering community, and making live music accessible and memorable.”
With its renewed focus on grassroots musicianship and its intimate setting, 110 Above’s return promises to deliver an extraordinary experience for festival-goers seeking a genuine connection to music and artistry.
With limited-capacity tickets, 110 Above promises to remain a boutique festival that values quality over quantity.
