Graeme Park, Everything Everything, and Abi Rose Kelly to headline RivFest 2021. RivFest returns 6th - 8th August with its biggest event to date. A three day weekender of amazing acts and hot new talent - all for just £25!
This year the festival is taking place from 6th - 8th August 2021 in the 3000 capacity Old Market Square in Warrington, with headliners; Hacienda DJ Graeme Park opening on Friday, Everything Everything on Saturday and Abi Rose Kelly on the Sunday. Following the headliners is lots of upcoming talent and local talent to be showcased over the weekend including The Lounge Society, The Rills, Pizzagirl, The Zangwills, and more. All proceeds from ticket sales will be going back into the charity which provides grants of up to £500 to support young people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve their artistic ambitions.
The festival was set up by the River Reeves Foundation. The River Reeves Foundation is an arts charity that was launched in 2016 following the tragic deaths of River, his band Viola Beach and their manager, Craig Tarry. The 2021 event is also a celebration marking five years since Viola Beach posthumously reached #1 in the UK Albums chart.
FRIDAY (£10 per ticket): Kicking off the festival on the Friday night is Hacienda legend and Acid House Entrepreneur Graeme Park. Park has been a disc jockey since the early eighties and has evolved ahead of the time consistently throughout the years. A big name and a great act to have headline the first day of Rivfest. Guest DJ’s will also be joining Park for an evening of throwbacks and bangers - a return to the rave that you’ve all needed.
SATURDAY (£20 per ticket): Breakthrough experimental rock quartet Everything Everything headline and are joined by Pizzagirl, Orchards, and The Lounge Society as well as RivFest favourites Eliza & The Bear - who previously appeared at the 2017 edition of the festival.
