!! SAVE THE DATE !!

Undercover Festival is bringing two days of punk, ska and so much more to this unique location in Essex for the first time.

26TH & 27TH SEPTEMBER 2025

Promising the best in grassroots and legendary alternative music plus the friendliest crowd around.

You can expect free camping, showers, parking and novel on-site attractions found at no other UK festival. Extras include a reasonably priced bar, merchandise, on-site accommodation, campervan passes and easy road, rail and bus access.

A proudly independent celebration of DIY and alternative culture, the ‘nomadic’ Undercover Festival has run over 11 years across Kent, London, Surrey and Sussex.

The line-up and tickets are all released on undercoverfest.com.

Organiser Mick says: “Come along and find out what the fuss is about. If you like your music alternative you will love what we have to offer at Undercover… as we say at Undercover “See Ya Down The Front’.”

While Undercover Festival is hitting the road after a run at Guildford’s The Suburbs at the Holroyd, the venue remains home to Undercover’s regular gigs, with 20 booked in over the rest of 2024 and 2025.

This was to say the least rather unexpected.
