GB11 Promo

Glastonbudget, the Mecca of Tribute, is now in its 7th year and saw more than 5,000 fans cram-in to see more that 130 amazing bands play 6 stages in May of 2010. This year’s extravaganza of Europe’s best tribute bands and New Acts will be even better & see around 10,000 music lovers attend. Glastonbudget Music Festival 2011 takes place at Turnpost Farm in Wymeswold, Leicestershire on May 27th, 28th and 29th, 2011.

Now into its seventh year, Glastonbudget, as the name suggests, is a well established tribute & new act festival weekend which should not be missed! The festival takes place at Turnpost Farm Wymeswold in Leicestershire, and rivals any of the bigger festivals in true tribute style.

Yes! Tribute style meaning tribute bands. It all started in 2005, when we gathered 18 of the top tribute bands from around Europe and put together one hell of a weekend. Since then it has grown and grown and is now the biggest and best tribute and new music festival in Europe. This year we know Glastonbudget will be even bigger & better still – and offering even better value for money than ever before!

It now also includes over 130 new acts from not only the UK but around the world; a wide range of alternative entertainment. “All in all it makes for a cracking weekend!” Chris Dunn, Co-organiser.

Everything from the curries to the cocktail bar, from the bands to the bars – its all tip top!

Many people consistently comment on how well the event is organised, how much of a friendly, community atmosphere is created and how near total strangers became part of the most friendly music loving festival that people had ever witnessed.

One of the biggest things for us her at team Glastonbudget, is to make sure that we are rip-off free. You wont pay booking fees on ticket purchase, you wont pay for car-parking either! In fact this year you wont even pay more than 50p for a hot drink! That’s a FACT! We have worked very closely with our food concessions who will be bringing you fixed price meal deals for the 1st time this year!

So onwards to GB 11! We hope to see you there on 27th, 28th and 29th May 2011 at Turnpost Farm.
