Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, Jake Bugg, Travis and more have been announced as performers at this year’s edition of Splendour Festival.

This year’s edition of Splendour Festival will see Day Fever across the weekend for a brand new stage, bringing their daytime disco curated by Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure and Reverend & The Makers’ Jon McClure. This will also feature a yet-to-be-revealed line-up of electronic music programming to close out both days.
“Splendour has become a standout weekend for families and seasoned gig-goers alike and an important event for the cultural and economic value it brings to the region. We’re very pleased to finally be back with another brilliant line-up, now spread across two days and six distinct stages, offering great value to everyone coming to enjoy the weekend with us,” shared George Akins of DHP Family – which organises Splendour.
The return of Splendour is also set to provide a welcome boost to the local economy as it attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the city over the weekend. This year, organisers are building on the growing appeal of weekend festival getaways with the introduction of an accommodation partner next to the festival site.
Dedicated festival coaches will also be running from major cities and towns across the Midlands to compliment Nottingham’s well-connected rail network and amplify the festival’s regional appeal.
Councillor Sam Lux, Executive Member for Carbon Reduction, Leisure and Culture at Nottingham City Council, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome Splendour Festival back to Wollaton Hall & Deer Park this year. The festival not only showcases Nottingham’s vibrant music scene but brings significant economic benefits by supporting local businesses.
“Splendour also fosters a real sense of community spirit, uniting people from all walks of life to celebrate music, art, and the unique character of Nottingham. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the city to once again host this nationally recognised event and one of the East Midlands’ biggest music festivals.”
The 2023 edition of the Nottingham fest saw Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Madness as headliners, with other acts such as The Kooks, Rudimental, Sugababes, Sam Ryder, Confidence Man and Altered Images performing too.
