The Main Stage

The main stage featuring two days of the finest legends in the indie rock, punk, alternative and the electronic live music scene. Combined with some of the country's freshest new talent, with support from some local heroes will most definitely give the mega sound system and visual show a right pounding. With performances from goliath’s such as The Charlatans, and electro synth Radio 1 faves such as Fenech Soler this stage not only breathes cool, it embodies it!

"INVASION" Dance Arena

Undoubtedly Shropshire’s most influential and most successful dance brand having mastered parties from forests in the middle of nowhere to the super clubs of Ibiza. Invasion will be celebrating 9 years of smashing it. They will be joined by an array of top regional promoters to bring back that Invasion sound, offering a range of electro, techno and phat beats with their usual array of production and live performances. If you're an Invasion veteran, smile, if you're not then prepare to become one!

"SUBSOUNDS" Dance Arena

Born out of the free-party movement of South Shropshire, Subsoundz has grown over the years into the county's premier drum-and-bass event. Having showcased all the big players in the scene since its inception, Subsoundz has managed not only to maintain its reputation as being a mighty event but maintained the friendly safe atmosphere that accompanies the spirit of its original followers and founders.

"PLANET OF THE BREAKS" Dance Arena

The brainchild of local old boy Wayne ‘Sonny’ Woods who has been running events in Shrewsbury since 1989, Planet Breaks now in its 11th Year is best known for its fortnightly gigs down at the Buttermarket Cellars & in its heyday was regularly listed in the Guardian, Mixmag, DJ & Muzik Magazines as the No 1 night out in the Midlands & UK, facing fierce competition from all the major Citys club nights. Famous acts that featured over the years have included Groove Armada, Grandmaster Flash, Mr Scruff to name but a few supplying that famous hip hop, breaks, beats and funked up treats sound.

Silent Disco Garden

Shhhhhhh, I'm in the silent disco. And whilst you might be forgiven for thinking you have just walked into a mental asylum due to observing random people dancing at random speeds, you will soon discover once you put the supplied headphones on that they are in fact dancing to the finest local DJs providing an eclectic array of music broadcast over three music channels which you can choose on your headphones. Pop music RnB tick, hard rock tick, Gregorian chant?.............silent in name, banging in nature!

Boat Party

Ahoy there! Welcome to our boat party AKA the Sabrina arena. Departing from the festival site, cruising up and down the river Severn you will be subjected to beautiful town centre views, or down below deck you can join in the party - with music provided by some of the freshest acts - there is even an open mic / deck section, so, all aboard!

Charity Village

At Shrewsbury Fields Forever we believe in only a few things, quality music and quality entertainment but also we believe ‘what’s the point of anything if we cant make a difference?’ Allow us to introduce our charity village!

We have carefully selected a range of local heroes and national champs in the form of charities and businesses to host various games and activities on site, because we feel that although its admirable to fundraise for a good cause, we should have the right to enjoy doing so! The entertainment zone will feature various stalls and games for you to take part in, to win prizes or perhaps become champ at some humiliating contest. So if its a gladiator duel or an inflatable obstacle course, you will be safe in the knowledge that your participation will not only offer some form of entertainment to you and your friends but will also be raising funds and awareness for a good cause.

Charities and their activities will be appearing here soon.

We were intending to go this but the fact that theres 3 dance stages (plus a dj headlining the main stage on the Sunday night) put us off...seems a weird choice for a festival of this size
