Beat Herder Festival 2026

The Ribble Valley, 3 Carr Croft, BB7 4EN Clitheroe Kort

fim. 16.07.2026 13:00

Originating from 90's free party roots, over its 21 year history, Beat-Herder has become known as one of the last-remaining independent bastions of electronic music, featuring disco, drum & bass, psytrance, techno, jungle, house, garage, dub, reggae and everything in between from live acts and DJs.

Renowned for uniting disparate subcultures, this year’s line-up reads as a celebration of electronic music in its many forms. After selling out of tickets every year, Beat-Herder will once again transform Lancashire’s Ribble Valley into a technicolour party and escapist’s utopia, with an array of 16 stages, world-class DJs and live acts.

Voted Festival of the Year at the 2024 Northern Music Awards and crowned Best Festival by TPD TV, the cherished event continues to prove that bigger isn’t always better, and that magic thrives in the details.

Constantly shortlisted in the UK Festival Awards for BEST DANCE EVENT and BEST SMALL FESTIVAL + winning the 2014 "Extra Festival Award" for attention to detail

Creating unforgettable festival memories and moments since 2006.

A place to loose yourself, be utterly free to explore and be alive.

16th-19th July 2026.

HERD EM UP!! xx
