Stonedead Festival 2027 is sold out, and the gates are still ten months away.
The volunteer-run independent rock festival, put together by music fans for music fans, returns to Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire on Saturday 28 August 2027. It will be the ninth year. The format is unchanged: one day, one stage, and one large rock show in the spirit of the original Monsters of Rock.
If you did not get a ticket, the organisers have opened an official waiting list. They say joining earlier improves your chances. Joining does not guarantee a ticket.
Do not buy from unofficial sellers on social media. The official waiting list is the safe route.
The line-up has not been announced.
A sell-out this early is what a loyal crowd can do for an independent festival, and it is the kind of community Festie Bestie is built for.
