We’re proud to report that AlderFest 2025 was our biggest and best festival yet—with Saturday completely sold out! Glorious sunshine, an electric atmosphere, and thousands of happy faces made this year truly special.
Set against the backdrop of Alderford Lake, the festival welcomed families, friends, and music lovers of all ages for two unforgettable days of live music, outdoor fun, and community spirit.
Headliners That Raised the Roof
Our Saturday line-up brought serious star power with Ella Henderson, Pixie Lott, and The Vengaboys delivering standout performances that had the crowd singing, dancing, and cheering into the evening. Joining them were fan favourites including Toploader, Dave Pearce, Ultrabeat, and Artful Dodger, making for a showstopping mix of feel-good hits, dance anthems, and ’90s nostalgia.
Off the back of that success, presale tickets for AlderFest 2026 sold out in just 20 minutes! The demand has been phenomenal and speaks volumes about the experience we’ve built. Families are returning, new faces are joining us, and word is spreading fast.
We’re excited to continue growing the festival, while keeping its heart firmly rooted in fun, community, and great music in a safe, beautiful setting.
To the performers, the guests, the volunteers, and the entire team behind the scenes—thank you. It’s your passion and commitment that makes AlderFest such a standout event on the summer calendar.
We’re already deep in planning for 2026, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to the lake.
