What's On At Plumpton
Step back to the summer of 1970 — when denim was faded, riffs were raw, and festivals meant freedom.
The Plumpton Main Stage brings that golden era roaring back to life, celebrating the legends who defined a generation and the artists keeping their spirit alive today.
Think Floyd recreate the majesty of The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here in breath-taking detail.
Who’s Next channel the raw power of The Who’s iconic live era. Dreams of Fleetwood Mac weave the harmonies and heartache of one of rock’s most beloved bands.
Eric and the Claptones honour the blues-driven soul of Clapton, Cream, and Derek & The Dominos. Kozmic Pearl capture the wild spirit of Janis Joplin.
Seventy Hundred Split — featuring Leo Lyons of Ten Years After — bridge Plumpton ’69 and Woodstock to now. Climax Blues Band bring true British blues heritage.
Modern torch-bearers Aynsley Lister, The Milk Men, The James Oliver Band, Hot Property and Burning Ropes prove great guitar music never dies; it just gets louder.
Plumpton Revival’s Main Stage is a celebration of sound, sunshine and pure live music.
Cinema
Step inside our pop-up cinema and lose yourself in the sights and sounds of rock’s most electric era.
Grainy film reels flicker to life, the air hums with nostalgia, and you’re transported back to the festival fields that changed music forever.
From the sun-drenched stages of Monterey ’67 and the pioneering vibes of Plumpton ’69, to the muddy majesty of Woodstock ’69 and the awakening spirit of Glastonbury ’71 — this is where legends were born and anthems became immortal.
Relive moments that defined a generation:
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones rewriting the rulebook, Jimi Hendrix setting the sky on fire & Janis Joplin pouring her soul into the mic.
The Doors, Free, and Led Zeppelin shaking the earth, with Otis Redding bringing the heart, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, and David Bowie bending sound, style and time itself.
The Festival Cinema is more than a screening — it’s a time machine.
Pull up a deckchair, soak up the crackle of vintage film, and experience the era that made music eternal.
Comedy
Before arena tours… Before panel shows. Before comedy became pristine and polished… The 70's was where chaos, character and pure variety ruled.
This summer, we’re bringing it all back, with the Plumpton Revival Comedy Tent!
Basil Brush – A true icon of British variety as you’ve never seen him before!
Chas & Dave by The Spice Chavs – A raucous tribute to the sing along legends.

Also including a handpicked crew of comedians, performers, mischief-makers, and rising voices bringing depth, colour and unpredictability to the festival.
Hosted by festival legend Craig Campbell - (Russell Howard’s Good News)—the Plumpton Comedy Tent promises a weekend of glorious mayhem.
