The programme is complete
20 March
Twenty acts on five stages across three days, and the pre-opening on Thursday down by the water. The last gap on the Street Stage is filled, the Family Stage has two puppet shows instead of one, and the BBQ Plaza has become a stage in its own right. The full timetable is online.
Reusable cups, second year
29 January
Ninety-four per cent of the cups came back last year. We are keeping the two euro deposit and extending the system to plates at every stand. The washing happens on site, which means two more volunteers per shift — see volunteering. More on the sustainability page.
All stages on the city grid
10 November 2026
After two years of planning with the utility company, every stage now runs on mains power instead of diesel. The two mobile stands that still need a generator run on vegetable oil. It is the single biggest change we have made and nobody in the audience will notice it, which is rather the idea.
