More than 2000 people attended last year’s festival, which although aimed at teenagers and young people, is enjoyed by a wide range of festival-goer and music lovers. 

The event runs with support from Confetti, whose students contribute to the sound and light production of the festival. It has been endorsed by BBC Radio Nottingham, Notts TV, and LeftLion, who called it 'Nottingham's best one day family festival'.

Timings and what to expect

Gates open at 2.30pm, and the music and fun goes on until 9pm. 

There are also a variety of food stalls and bars, inflatable fun for the children, a silent disco and market stalls run by talented young creators and crafters.

Headline acts on the main stage this year are ACHB and Wizards Can't Be Lawyers, along with other talented musicians including DJ LC, Cali Green, KAP, EMiDORA, Dorothy Ella, Set in Motion and Blu Syrup. 

For the first time, this year there will be a second music stage, ‘Radfest Introducing', which will showcase young local talent, with performers from South Nottinghamshire Academy as well as up-and-comers including Jude Forsey and Romy and the Rhads.
