The Big Tribute Festival 2021 – POSTPONED

Dear all,

We’ve held off making this decision for as long as we can but sadly we have no choice but to postpone the Big Tribute Festival for a second year. 

The latest Welsh Government update tells us that restrictions won’t be eased any further until mid July at the earliest, a month before we are supposed to open the gates. Clearly this has now become an impossible timescale to work to for an event of this size, especially when there is no indication of whether restrictions will even be lifted sufficiently by then.

Whilst we’ve done everything we can to try and make the event happen this year, the uncertainty and speculation as to what may happen mean we need to make the heartbreaking yet sensible call to postpone the event until August Bank Holiday weekend 2022.

Without any available insurance (private or government backed), if we carried on regardless at this stage and social distancing measures remain in place then it would be disastrous for the festival. It simply wouldn’t recover.

Everyone involved with the Big Tribute wants it to return and experience another wonderful weekend of fun and friendship in a field together. As disappointing as it is to have to miss out on that again this summer, we’ve worked so hard to stay in the game throughout the whole pandemic that we don’t want to start gambling with the future of the festival now.

We’d like to highlight the support we have had from all acts and suppliers that have allowed us to get this far. It has been absolutely phenomenal. In such a devastating 16 months for the whole events supply chain and trying to plan under incredibly challenging circumstances, there has been flexibility and a collaborative approach from everyone to try and make it work. We are very grateful that we deal with such amazing people.

We also want to express our sincere thanks to all ticket holders that have shown such patience since buying their tickets in February 2020. We know how frustrating it has been and can’t wait to be back in Lovesgrove with you all again next year.

More information on ticketing can be found below or on the website but we will be rolling over tickets again as well as offering refunds for anyone that requires them.

We are so sorry that we couldn’t offer a bit of good news after so long but hope that you  can all appreciate the reasons behind the decision.

Thanks again for all the support and see you in 2022.
