Nominated for 5 UK Festival Awards in 2009 and 4 in '08, the original overgrown party in the garden, Nozstock Festival takes funseekers back to the grassroots of the summer festival experience. Set in the lush countryside of Herefordshire, and with eight stages set around the Orchard, Garden and Yard of a 17th century farm, nowhere could feel more like a home away from home....

With the pear tree covered Orchard at the centre of the site, this focal point merges frivolous shopping, cider drinking and sofa surfing. Party-goers this year will bounce to anthemic sounds from established rock outfits alongside a smooth brew of up and coming indie acts. Wending a way towards the tudor farmhouse, the Garden Stage serves up experimental sounds, punk funk whimsy, alongside iconic dance acts, who will be providing 2010's revellers with a lazer-frenzied dance-a-thon.

Converted barns vibrate with sub-thumpings from the skilled fingertips of masters of drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep, while breaks and hard dance DJs silence those old enough to say ‘raves aren’t like they used to be.’ Nozstock’s newest addition with their virgin year in 2009, TRIBE OF FROG will be serving up a storm of neon-induced psytrance revellry down in the Coppice.

Thanks to its late license and homegrown venues, Nozstock gives its punters all the fun and frivolity of a true festival, without the corporate sheen.

Shenanigans for the mini-festivaler occur off the beaten track and over the bridge in the Dingle, where workshops aplenty and theatrical splendour beckon every taste and size in investigation… Small hands meet clay and puppetry, large ones stroke the much-coveted vintage tractors. Ephemeral electro-acoustica rings out across the field and deep in the dark of the theatre, strange and intriguing behaviours ensue!

Catch a late night short film or music video from our mesmerising collections and take a detour to the comedy tent for the odd smirk and rib-busting chuckle, before the lights turn low for burlesque drama at the chime of midnight. Whose foot does the slipper fit?
