Beat-Herder is often referred to as the jewel in the crown of Northern England's festival calendar.

What sets this festival apart from all the rest - in addition to its entirely hand-made site and unpretentious atmosphere - is its wealth of musical diversity. True to form, in 2016 Beat-Herder will once again celebrate all genres of music, with a genuinely diverse line up that features household names across rock, house, techno, dub, reggae, drum & bass, folk, indie - with even a spot of EDM and dubstep thrown in for good measure.

The entire site is made from scratch, by hand, including the tunnels in the woods leading to secret raves (look out for a red telephone box…) and a chapel, complete with Sunday Service. With so many secrets round every corner, including a secluded on-site swimming pool nestled in the heart of the woods, it’s no wonder the festival is such a special and magical experience.

Never one to rest on their laurels, Beat-Herder has earned a reputation for creating new stages, surprises and secret areas year on year. This year will see two new areas. For the first time in its history, Beat-Herder will be teaming up with esteemed psychedelic party crew Sunrise. Now in its 19th year, Sunrise started in Manchester and has grown to be one of the most well-respected psytrance parties today. Expect top production, wild sounds courtesy of the mighty Opus Sound System, UV eye candy and the best psychedelic music ranging from chilled to psybreak and right right through to full on stompers.

Also new for 2016 is The Illustrious Society stage, the "home of the Good, the Glitterati and the Intelligentsia" will be setting up at Beat-Herder. Suits, steam punk or vintage attire are mandatory for entry.
