Jamie Scahill, co-founder of the festival, said: “It was amazing to be able to host the festival again this year in Williamson Park, and it was an honour to be able to open the gates and welcome so many people who haven't had the chance to enjoy a music festival in over two years.

"We’re moving back to our original date in May for 2022 and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before. We’re already working on securing a killer line-up for next year’s event, and we’re expecting another sell out.”

Co-founder Rich Dyer added: “We had some incredible feedback from fans and we want to thank everyone who attended and supported the event in 2021, plus of course the team who worked tirelessly to make it happen.

"With restrictions now lifted we have a bigger run up to next year’s event, and as a team we already can’t wait to welcome everyone to what is certain to be the best festival yet, let’s hope we get the amazing weather again!”
