Bish Bash Festival - Announce a great line-up for this years event

EMF and the Boo Radleys will play this years event

After two amazingly dull years, Bish Bash is back in 2022 and bigger and better than ever. 2022 heralds the 20th Stortford Music Festival (aka the Bish Bash). It’s so much more than just an event for music fans, it's a big hit on the town's community calendar, with hundreds of families flocking to Sworder's Field. This year it will on Friday 3rd of June and Saturday 4th of June, the Jubilee weekend, so make sure you put in your calendars and book your tickets now. For those unfamiliar to Bish Bash, it is a community, not for profit music festival that typically attracts up to 6,000 people to Sworder’s Field right in the town centre. Yes, that’s right they don’t make money, it's run by a volunteer committee of like-minded people, young and old, driven by a common desire to give the people of the Stortford area a good time.

They all give up time, energy and, sometimes, peace of mind - all for free. Other than the headline acts, no individuals profit from the festival but the community is richer for it, so please play your part and come on down. Building on the successful format of previous years, there are three stages plus a drama/ comedy tent. In addition to live entertainment you’ll find great food, a gin bar, a real-ale tent, a dedicated dance tent, comedy, kids entertainment, and various community stalls. So it’s the festival that you know and love, only better! So, who’s playing? Every year Bish Bash strives to bring in a real mixture of talent. Some of the artists will be household names, some will be old favourites, some will be upcoming names, and some are raw new talent that need your support to help them break through. Every artist starts somewhere and as lovers of live music Bish Bash always like to encourage artists who give it their all on stage and come alive in front of an audience.

Without dropping names, they’ve had several superstars pay their dues to Bishops Stortford in the past. On Friday the 3rd of June there’s the Boo Radleys who are stopping off in Stortford as part of a huge tour to promote a new album. Who can forget humming along to 'Wake up Boo' at some point?. Also on the Friday stage we have local BritPop band Collapsed Lung 'Eat my Goal' and Bishops Stortford band Darlings before the day one is closed by the ever popular show stoppers that are Uncle Funk’s Disco Inferno. The fun continues on Saturday 4th June where we have EMF headlining. 'Unbelievable' good music is all about enjoying yourself, letting your hair down and having fun and you can dance away to our other Saturday acts which include Buster Shuffle an amazing London based Ska Punk Rock 'n' Roll band’.
