Nibley Music Festival

Nibley Music Festival was an annual two day music festival that took place in July in the village of North Nibley, Gloucester, UK. The Festival was held on a family farm near St. Martin’s Church.

The Festival, formerly called North Nibley Music Festival, was first held in 2007 as a way of fundraising for local good causes and charities. The management and organisation of the festival was carried out by small team of volunteers working throughout the year, and about 150 extra volunteers around festival time. Since 2007 it had grown in size to a capacity of c. 4,500 people and at the time of it's permanent closure, raised about £30-40k each year through a combination of ticket sales, sponsorship and encouraging local charitable groups to set up stalls on the festival site.

It showcased popular music across a wide variety of genres and the festival was aimed primarily at a family audience. In 2013, the festival sold all of its tickets in less than an hour. This led to demands for the festival to grow in size, but as of 2014 this hasn't happened.

Bands that have played at Nibley in the past include The Wonderstuff, King Charles, Feeder, Jesus Jones, The Heavy, Scouting For Girls The Beat, Dodgy, The Christians and The Selecter.
