📋About
Loopfest invades Staffordshire from May 1-3, 2026, establishing its territory as an eclectic festival mixing indie rock, britpop, and dub influences. This three-day edition offers a diverse program celebrating British and Irish alternative heritage. Headliners include Ash, Northern Irish icons of 90s britpop and power pop, and Reef, ambassadors of melodic hard rock. The rich lineup continues with Gentleman's Dub Club, contemporary masters of dub, dubstep, and ska, The Empty Page, representatives of modern grunge and punk, along with emerging discoveries like Jess Silk, Natural Right, and Flesh Tetris. Loopfest 2026's location in rural Staffordshire offers a perfect countryside escape for a long May weekend. The festival's relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere attracts both britpop movement nostalgics and contemporary alternative sound enthusiasts. Between energetic sets and intimate acoustic moments, the eclectic lineup guarantees continuous musical discovery. Loopfest celebrates the diversity of the British independent scene, proving that alternative rock's rebellious spirit remains as vibrant today as at the height of the 90s indie movement.
