Taking place in Warrington’s Victoria Park from 28th-30th May next year, the line-up for the new day will include headliner Gerry Cinnamon, Circa Waves, The Zutons, Jade Bird, and Orla Gartland. To obtain tickets, head to the official website on Friday 11th September from 9.30am (BST).

The 2020 festival was sadly cancelled in just its third year due to Covid-19 guidelines, so bands, fans, and organisers are all incredibly excited to begin holding live shows again. Organisers released a statement which said, “We are delighted that the vast majority of artists playing at the festival have confirmed they will return. Everyone involved in the festival and the artists that are playing are working really hard to give you the festival you wanted.”
Neighbourhood Weekender Festival began in 2018 in Warrington as an expansion of Manchester’s festal of the same name. Past years have seen acts such as George Ezra, Primal Scream, and Richard Ashcroft.
