Beat the Streets raised over £100,000 for Framework to help homeless people. The festival took place across multiple venues in Nottingham on Sunday 28th January, featuring over 80 acts including Sleaford Mods, Ferocious Dog, Rolo Tomassi, The Invisible Orchestra, Lawnmower Deth, Kagoule, and Eyre Llew.

They impressively smashed their target through a combination of ticket sales, donations, bar receipts, merchandise, and collection buckets, as well as many artists donating their proceeds from merchandise sales.

Next year's festival will again take place at multiple venues around Nottingham, on Sunday 27th January.

Donations for this year can still be made through Just Giving here.

Framework helps homeless and vulnerable people, registered charity number: 1060941
