Houghton Festival offers continuous music, extended DJ sets, surprise back-to-back performances, and an intimate experience. The organizers pay great attention to detail and sound quality, ensuring that each stage has its own sonic characteristics. The Warehouse will feature a 360-degree Soundscape system, creating an immersive audiovisual experience.
“Every festival makes its own journey,” says Craig Richards. “Ours has been extraordinary and unique on so many levels. Two super years where we experienced a vision of the future and gained a loyal following. A subsequent 3 years of cancellation due to an unimaginable storm and Covid. We returned on a hot and dusty year, determined to re-engage with our audience and our statement. Every single step of the way we focused on belief and longevity. It made us stronger and more determined,” he added.
In addition to the music, the festival will also feature art commissions, a wellness area, and a variety of food options. The lack of smartphone reception encourages attendees to fully immerse themselves in the moment.
