Music Barn 2025

About Us

At Music Barn, it's all about good music, good vibes, and a whole heap of music, magic, and mayhem.

We bring global sounds and grassroots energy together right here in Kettering… creating a festival experience that’s small, mighty, and packed full of heart.

Born from a group of mates wanting to throw a party for their community, Music Barn has grown into one of Northamptonshire’s most loved boutique festivals. But we’ve never lost sight of our roots: we champion local talent, create space for new artists to shine, and bring unforgettable live performances to our beautiful corner of the county.

Our unique site, a reclaimed ironstone quarry, is now a lush natural amphitheatre, which sets the scene for a day of dancing, discovery, and downright good times. Across five stages, you'll find international stars, rising local legends, DJs, live bands, and more, with great food, cold drinks, and a bit of Music Barn magic at every turn.

We’re proud to support local traders, suppliers, and businesses wherever possible, because building community is just as important as building a banging lineup.

And as a little extra feel-good, every year, we make a contribution from our bar profits to a local charity, helping keep the positive vibes flowing far beyond the festival itself.

We’ll see you in the field
