As April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, Test Fest has announced its 2025 edition. Organised by It’s in the Bag Cancer Support (IITB) Test Fest takes place Saturday 21 June 2025 at Taunton RFC, Somerset, with headliners The Hoosiers and Woody Cook.
Test Fest is a music festival that promotes men’s health and raises awareness of testicular cancer, with the aim of saving lives. This award winning Music Festival is the only one of its kind in the UK and probably the only festival where it is absolutely normal for people to routinely wear orange pants on the outside.
Not only is it about cancer awareness, but many survivors and their families attend and catch up with those who have had treatment, those just diagnosed or those still receiving treatment.
There is still a trend for most of the bands and artists to donate their performance to the charity or play at a very reduced rate. For 2025 the festival launches its Bandstand Stage for acoustic artists and new talent, including students from Richard Huish College and recent winners of our Battle of the Bands contest.
IITB’s aims are to support men at diagnosis and during treatment, raise awareness to encourage early detection and celebrate the 96% survival rate from Penzance to Worcester.
