Redfest is a 2-day music festival featuring live performances across 3 stages: The Main Stage, and new for 2013 the Redcore 'In Your Face' Stage and the Boileroom Stage.

Staunchly independent and now into its 7th year, Redfest has gained a reputation for championing new emerging bands, solo artists and DJ’s and 2013 promises to be the biggest and most successful weekend yet! Redfest will give you the opportunity to discover some of the best up and coming local and national acts, in the heart of Surrey's beautiful countryside.

Festival owner Matt Nichols commented on the new rock stage venture 'We're stepping up a gear  with a full on rock line up for the 2nd stage this year so there's music for every taste.'

Other new addition to Redfest 2013 will be the inclusion of a Silent Disco on both Friday and Saturday nights.

Redfest is also giving one unsigned band the chance to open the main stage with our 'Road to Redfest' competition. Submissions close on the 1st February. More information from our site.

The first of the main stage acts will be announced at the beginning of February when our Early Bird Ticket sales priced at just £58 (+ booking fee)will end.
