Nozstock The Hidden Valley | 10 stages - 350 acts - 1 big family. 💖
18th - 21st July 2024 🎪
Independent, eclectic, family friendly and host to some bass thumpin' rave sheds. Nozstock caters for festival goers of all types, from the veteran festival aficionado through to those newly affected by the festival bug. It has evolved from a gathering of 50 friends into an intimate musical odyssey joining the dots between pop, ska, folk, funk, soul, indie, drum’n’bass, psytrance, house and a whole lot more. It is now firmly established as one of the country’s leading boutique festivals. 

The Orchard Stage is set at the foot of a natural arena on the side of the gently sloping valley. Alongside the farmhouse is the Garden Stage, which provides a more eclectic lineup, turning electronic by sundown whilst a converted cowshed, the Cubicles, pushes out sub-thumping bass and dubstep through to the early hours.

The festival is truly home-grown and hand-made – quite literally in fact, with a small army of grass roots supporters helping to create the wonderfully themed environment each summer. Nozstock is the quintessentially British festival – a little bit eccentric, a lot of fun, full of wonder, enchantment… and a touch of magic.

Vault Of Eagles are a dual-fronted DIY alt. rock trio from the Midlands, lead by sisters Mari and Hetty Randle.

Visceral, angular and exposed, VoE twist their influences beyond recognition, from their psychedelic, dirty riffs to the unbridled swagger and sway of the rhythm section. Their music traverses a vast sonic spectrum of blues, psychedelia, grunge, alternative and rock, all compounded into one.

"A dirge that conjures the image of P J Harvey fronting The Bad Seeds - you are in the bowels of the beast." - SLAP! Magazine
