Exile Fest

14/03/2025

We've been busy getting the Exile catering organised.

This year, we welcome back Pop Top Kitchen who will be with us all weekend. Whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner, Matt and his team have got you covered.

We're also happy to introduce two new traders:

The Roaming Kitchen will be with us all day Friday and Sunday serving up yummy wood-fired pizzas. They will also have a selection of sweet treats to tempt you further.

On Saturday, we have Dee Licious Curry's serving from lunchtime until late. Dee is passionate about her authentic Punjabi food, and only uses fresh ingredients, cooked from scratch.

With just 111 days to go, let's set those musical taste buds a-tingling!

Our line-up on both stages is now complete, and there's so much to choose from. Right now, though, let's talk about our closing act for Friday night.

We've got Derbyshire's one and only Big Sur. Well known on the Derbyshire music scene, this 5 piece band consists of Saxophone, guitars and drums. Superlatives include immersive, skilful, contagious, dynamic, energetic, and electrifying.

What a way to close Friday night!

We're looking for set-up & take-down crew volunteers. You'll be required to work either side of the festival on Thursday 26th and Monday 30th June for roughly 4 hours each day.

In return, you'll get to enjoy the festival in its entirety with free camping for the duration of your stay.

You'll need to be fit and active as you'll be helping erect the heras fencing, setting up staging and putting up small event tents.

If this is something you'd be interested in doing, drop us a message and we'll be in touch.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you are gearing up to celebrate the New Year.

Just before you pop those champagne corks though, remember, our Early Bird Tickets end at 11.55pm on 31st December. There's no better time to grab yourself a bargain before Big Ben does his thing.

Normal price tickets will be on sale from midnight on 1st January (providing we've got the widget that goes on the thingy in the right place to read the wotsit!)🤣

In all this gloomy weather, it's wonderful to know that in just 181 days we'll all be together, basking in (relative) sunshine and enjoying the very best music that Derbyshire has to offer. Bring. It. On!

Doesn't this miserable weather make you wish you were at Exile, where the sun always shines*?

It's great to see a flurry of ticket sales over the weekend! 🎶

*Disclaimer: we can't guarantee sunshine, but we can guarantee a good time!

It's that time of year when our thoughts turn to the big question. "What to get the person who has everything?" Well, we can wholeheartedly recommend that one or two Exile tickets are guaranteed to warm even the most frozen cockles of anyone's heart! You know what to do....

So that's it for another year. The field is clear, the fire pit is empty and beer pumps are dry. We've had a great Festival and we hope you did too. Thank you for being such an awesome crowd!

We're already planning next year - there's no rest at Exile HQ!

Seriously though. We couldn't do it without you wonderful Exilers - Thank You xx
