Stages

The Main Stage - The Wild Stage: Throughout the infamously hot days of Blissfields, this stage sees people sprawled across the festival’s grounds enjoying some excellent music, marvellous food and a few cheeky drinks from the many bars and vendors that line the main arena between the shady tees. By night this is where Blissfields headline acts will perform, among festival and party favourite bands, as fireworks and lasers see the festival climax in style.

The 2nd Stage - The Hustle Den: A hub for emerging artists, the setting for our opening night extravaganza, and where more than a few surprises have occurred over the years. For three days this marquee is where you’ll find your favorite new band and dance later into the night.

The Hidden Hedge:  For those really wanting a late night dance experience though, it’s The Hidden Hedge for you. What started as a secret platform in the trees, this pride of Blissfields, complete with art installations, lighting shows, and big name DJs, has now become a right of passage and festival landmark in itself, occupying an unmissable atmospheric corner of the festival.

The Bus: A non-stop torrent of DJ’s spinning summer pop and huge anthems, with some surprise specials guests, a hidden bar and if you’re lucky, maybe even an invite onto the top deck hot tub.

Electric Dreams: One of the festival’s more recent additions, this inviting and couch-filled cinema stage is great to unwind in during the day, taking a breather from the summer heat, and indulging in films submitted especially for the Blissfields Independent Film Festival, with a few Hollywood and British classic films screened until late at night as well.

The Larch: This is where you’ll find a lot of emerging folk and acoustic music during the day, with some curve balls thrown in for good measure. By night this snug and beautifully decorated marquee opens its doors to a much livelier scene and the odd secret party.
