Beat-Herder, the weirdest, wildest and most joyous party in the UK festival calendar, has announced the dates for its 2024 edition: 18th-21st July. Tickets will be on sale from 9am on Thursday, 27 July. 

The bold, barmy and utterly beloved event celebrated its 16th anniversary earlier this month. Despite some challenging weather conditions, the unyielding adoration shone through, and the people partied harder than ever. 

“Thanks to everyone who helped make magic with us – rain or shine. The energy was incredible, and we loved seeing all your smiles. We can’t wait to welcome you back again in a year’s time. It just keeps getting better.” – Nick Chambers, co-founder

In 2023, the main stage hosted one of the biggest electronic outfits of all time, Pendulum; the iconic Goldfrapp singer and producer Alison Goldfrapp, and portable party Confidence Man. Other highlights included bonafide British drum n bass DJ Wilkinson who delivered a thrilling set, English rock band Peter Hook and The Light, viral hitmaker leading the British drum ‘n’ bass renaissance Venbee, and Bradford bassline collective Bad Boy Chiller Crew.

UK electronic music institution, Eats Everything, Scottish DJ/production duo LF System, Dundee’s Hannah Laing, and stylist and presenter Gok Wan set the legendary Toil Trees alight with high-energy sets.  The Fortress hosted a true disciple of dance music, I.JORDAN, alongside the mighty Benny Page, and Tall Paul. The sacred arena of The Ring, curated by the original stadium house innovators, Utah Saints, welcomed the inimitable My Nu Leng and Dread MC to celebrate 10 years of UK underground dance music, and festival favourites Stanton Warriors, UK bass masters Dutty Moonshine, the much-loved DJ Paulette set the eccentric courtyard Trash Manor alight, amongst many other incredible acts.

The line-up for 2024 is yet to be announced. 

Early Bird tickets are available from 9am on 27 July. Nine-month payment plans will also be available.
