The DUB PISTOLS have been confirmed to headline WILKESTOCK 2015
BIG PERSONALITY
Wilkestock Charity Music Festival is fiercely independent and dedicated
to raising money for two charities, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research
and Keswick Mountain Rescue.
Wilkestock began its life as an outdoor party for a few friends in 2006 by brothers Tom and Olly Wilkes. Having grown through word-of-mouth and due to the great success of the event, it’s got a bit bigger since those days. Seven years on and the festival still retains it’s home-grown ethos and commitment to championing new, local and international artists. Last year attracted over 1,500 people to the Wilkes’ brother’s fields of Watton, Hertfordshire with more increases on attendance expected year on year. Gone are the days of a few friends camping in a field over night with a sprinkling of local bands, Wilkestock is even bigger than ever and the festival has extended to three action packed nights, split over a number of stages and venues due to popular demand and lots of acts wanting to get involved.
Last years festival had something for every mood spread across the 5 very different stages listed below, this year promises to be even bigger!
The Main Stage
Showcasing the best local talent alongside big UK names.
Acoustic Stage
Every day we present a smaller, more intimate acoustic atmosphere second to none.
Mutual Party Dance Stage
