The Big Tribute Fest

Aberystwyth

The Big Tribute Fest is coming to Aberystwyth this August – and it’s all about big tunes, great value, and brilliant festival vibes!

Created for music lovers who want top quality live entertainment without the eye-watering ticket prices or overwhelming crowds of mega-festivals, The Big Tribute Fest offers the perfect balance: incredible live music, a welcoming atmosphere, and a proper weekend escape with friends and family.

Festival highlights:

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Lovesgrove, just outside Aberystwyth, this three day celebration brings together the UK’s very best tribute acts for an epic festival experience.

  • From legendary anthems to crowd-pleasing classics, the Main Stage line-up has something for everyone – whether you’re a local, a seasoned festival-goer, a holidaymaker, or an Aber graduate planning the ultimate reunion
  • And the music doesn’t stop there. Alongside the Main Stage, festival-goers can discover even more live performances on a second stage dedicated to fantastic local talent, plus plenty of extra entertainment to keep the good times rolling all weekend long
  • Expect a Little Rockers’ Zone for younger music fans, games and inflatables, a full-scale ale and cider festival (at prices you’d actually expect to pay locally), a brilliant selection of food traders, and unique stalls from local businesses
  • Oh – and free camping and free parking are all part of the deal too!
  • All the essential festival comforts are well covered, with clean and plentiful toilets, first aid, security, and a team of friendly staff on hand to make sure everyone feels safe, welcome, and well looked after from start to finish

More Info
Is Big Tribute Fest wheelchair accessible?

The site is relatively flat and they have welcomed a number of visitors in wheelchairs in the past couple of years. As with all green field sites, if it rains then areas of heavy footfall will become muddy. They have a viewing platform in the main arena for wheelchair users.

There is a dedicated accessible camping and parking area for blue badge holders only by the main arena gate. Enter via GATE 1 off Lovesgrove roundabout and stewards will direct you on the day.

Are there showers on the campsites?

Yes. These are open 7am – 12pm and 5pm -7pm each day.

What size tent can I bring?

Any domestic tent up to 12 person is permitted on the campsite.

Is there a family camping/quieter area?

Yes, they have a dedicated family camping field on the other side of the arena away from general camping. This is exclusively for festival goers that want to stay in a quieter area of the festival once the main arena closes at night. It is approximately 10 minutes walk from the main arena entrance. As well as less noise than the general camping area, it also gets less crowded and provides a bit more space around your camp!

Can I take a chair into the main arena?

Yes, folding camping chairs are fine but please be aware that people may be stood up in front of you, especially if you try and take a seat nearer the front! Umbrellas and small sun shades are permitted as long as they do not restrict the view for other attendees. They do not allow gazebos or full size tents in the main arena.

Can I bring my dog to The Big Tribute fest?

Unfortunately not. No animals are permitted anywhere on site except for assistance dogs ONLY.
