As the excitement builds in Bristol, I can’t help but wonder—how do music festivals manage to whip up such fervent enthusiasm? The Forwards Festival is no exception, capturing the hearts (and wallets) of Brits gearing up for a weekend that promises to be packed with some of today’s most talked-about artists. Scheduled for August 23 and 24, this festival is set against the stunning backdrop of Durdham Downs, where electronic maestro Barry Can’t Swim and the Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective will grace the stage. And let’s not forget the much-anticipated arrival of Doechii, who’ll be debuting on Sunday alongside talents like Jorja Smith and The Last Dinner Party! However, if you’re anything like me, the thought of missing out on tickets is just too nerve-wracking. Are you ready to dive in and snag your spots before they’re all gone? Time is ticking, and there’s much more to discover—LEARN MORE.
It’s safe to say Brits have gone wild for this year’s Forwards Festival lineup, and time is running out to get hold of tickets.

Tickets are still available to purchase on See Tickets and AXS UK. Divided by tiers, tier one is the cheapest ticket on offer, but they’re almost gone. Essentially, the faster you get in there, the cheaper the tickets will be.
The only tier one tickets left are for the Saturday at £69.34 per person. If you’re planning to attend with your pals, then you can save money by purchasing a bundle of six at £67.56 each (tier three). There appears to be more tickets available on AXS UK at the same price, so it’s worth checking both sites before making a decision.
At the time of writing this, the cheapest weekend ticket comes in at £127.99 (tier two).
The cheapest ticket for Sunday’s lineup? You’re looking at £78.34 (tier three).
Forwards Festival is shaping up to be an event to look forward to with the likes of Barry Can’t Swim, Ezra Collective, Confidence Man, and English Teacher performing on the Saturday.
