These guys are going to be a hell of a lot of fun live come On The Bus Festival 2024 - AUGUST 30-31

We're looking for a guitarist, London and Brighton area. Please drop a comment or email us if interested! 😎 [email protected]

Get ready to jump back on board because On The Bus is roaring back this August, promising an unparalleled independent multi-genre music festival experience like no other. Brace yourselves for an electrifying weekend filled with a kaleidoscope of musical delights. There are still over 20 DJs of all genres to announce but here's our first wave.

We're thrilled to unveil this stellar lineup of acts set to grace the stage at the On The Bus Festival this August 30th-31st. From the legendary Drum and Bass pioneer DJ Aphrodite, hailed as a founding father of the genre, to the meteoric rise of AMA, who's transitioned from local sensation to sharing stages with giants like Chase and Status, Pendulum, DJ Fresh, Shy FX, and more at renowned festivals like Reading and Leeds and Boomtown.

Hip-hop enthusiasts, we've got something special for you! Verb T, from The Four Owls, is bringing a dynamite selection of UK Hip-Hop to the festival. Expect spellbinding sets from him, Ffsytho?!, Isaiah Dreads, Cerbs, and Joe King. Plus, seize the chance to showcase your skills in our open cypher event, offering the rare opportunity to take the main stage and command the mic!

Breaking from tradition, we're excited to be hosting a tribute act that's too good to miss – Pretendulum. Experience a full live band performance that captures the essence of Pendulum in a way that's nothing short of extraordinary. I've been watching this new band evolve from the sidelines and it's going to be a hella lotta fun! This is your invite to skank out with the best Pendulum tribute smashing out iconic tracks.

But that's not all – our lineup overflows with bands! Dive into a sea of sounds ranging from The Bomo Swing's latin and ska-infused hip-hop, to Bonsai Pirates' rum-soaked folk melodies. Punk vibes will be served hot by The Sporadics, while The Electric Shakes will keep the rock 'n' roll flame burning bright. And there's more – including performances by The Dix , Filth Circus, Kingsfoil, and perhaps a morning set from S**t The Band for those feeling a bit worse for wear.

Spread the word, help us rebirth this friendly independent party and book your passes today at

Rev up your excitement engines because the On The Bus festival is roaring back to life!  Nestled in the lush surroundings of Bredy Farm, Bridport, OTB offers a kaleidoscope of genres on two vibrant stages, complete with the charm of camping under the stars in a stunning location.

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of genres that exist in music. We are a multigenre festival but clearly it would be impossible to represent everything... So, we want to know what genres you most want us to book.

We are super excited to announce that On The Bus is BACK! Join us August 30th & 31st for an unforgettable weekend as the festival makes its grand comeback at the lushous Bredy Farm site in Bridport. We will be packing the weekend full of music as we strive to cover more genres across our two stages than you can shake a stick at.

We have been asked so many times when this festival will stage a comeback, well on the bus family, here it is! We're getting the band back together, or it really does feel more like family in this case. A chance for both OTB vet's and those who never got to make it back in the day, to come together and dance the night away. This is a bit of a roll of the dice for us, so please, buy a ticket and get on board the bus!

Tom Tom created this incredible bus for us in 2017, driven by the wicked wizard this would be the final bus design for the penultimate festival. It rained for a month in the leadup to this event and although the weekend wasn't too bad, it did us a huge hit in ticket sales. In addition our stage and equipment was stolen. 2018 we reached out to the community and you helped us kickstart a final sendoff event... And many have been asking us to find a way to come back ever since. Tom has been going strength to strength and you can catch him showing off ever more impressive tattoos on his Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tom_tom_tattoo

Bus History Part 4. By 2016 we were blessed with the best decor team. Part of that team was Xia, who created this amazing dream bus for us. The design in the windows was done by Immy Gustar and this collaboration between these artists became one of our favourite designs. Xia is now doing excellent tattoo work focussing on linework style, see her current work here: https://www.instagram.com/xia_smith_tattoo/

Bus history Part 3: The Monster Bus, the 2015 edition had the wonderful Krishna Malla pick up the pen and draw us this iconic monster truck bus. Big wheels for a big party in 2015 which saw Mouse Outfit, GLC, Ed Cox and more perform at the festival. It's hard to not know what Krishna has been up to if you live around Bournemouth, his Tech Moon artwork is commissioned upon half the buildings in town, including the stairs to our put The Four Horsemen Pub. See more of his work on his website : https://technicolourmoon.com/

History of the bus part 2. This design was done by none other than our pal Mr Martin Ross Butler who back in 2014 was running the excellent 60s inspired psych night Dollyrocker Club at The Winch (RIP). He carried over that psychedelic feeling into that years bus design creating this magical flying bus. He's still creating incredible pieces of art including the artwork for the recently released album by Selby And The Dharma Blitz.

A week to celebrate the artists. Every year, we would get someone who was a friend of the festival to draw us a bus to be used as that summers design. It all started with asking Shaun Horlock, a friend who was also a talented artist to draw the first one. This set in motion an annual tradition with a new design coming from a fresh artist for each festival. Shaun went on to run Openmind Apparel and has become one of the most sought after tattoo artists around. You can see his work over on his website at : https://shaunhorlock.com/portfolio/

One of the best things about running a small festival is being able to give people a space to springboard themselves to bigger and better things. No festival is complete without fire, and we still remember when Pantheatrix were starting out at OTB. Check their page out now, coming to to 2k followers and doing all sorts of fantastical firey stuff!! - It's all about the journey.
