About Tribfest Music Festival 2018

Launched in 2007, Tribfest aims to give families an affordable, fantastic, fun weekend away.

Held in the beautiful surroundings of Sledmere House it’s a great time to relax with fellow festival friends, old and new, whilst listening to great music and comedy across 6 stages.

Last year we booked 56 top tribute bands, 24 playing the main stage, and 32 in the VIP Big Top. With the world’s best tribute bands, we have the ultimate fantasy festival line-up, chosen to cover a wide range of genres and age groups so everyone knows some of the music, or better still, all of it!

As well as tribute bands, we’ve got a lot of other fantastic entertainment across the festival stages, including The Unsigned Marquee, Acoustic Marquee, Laughing Bull Comedy Marquee, Freedom Road Under 20s Marquee, Bono's Music Barn and the Kidzone.

As well as entertainment, we have a range of retail and catering outlets across the site so there’s plenty to keep everyone busy over the weekend.

Like any other major festival, Tribfest provides all the services you’d expect. Regularly cleaned toilets, hot showers, electrical hook ups, first aid, top security, and fun, friendly staff! Plus with a capacity of 5,000 Tribfest doesn’t get overcrowded like a lot of other festivals. Our festival facilities are some of the best in the country, with Tribfest having been nominated in the UK Festival Awards for the past 10 years in the categories of Best Small Festival, Best Family Festival, Best Toilets, and Grass Roots Festival Awards.

Tribfest has achieved great acclaim in both the local, and national press. ‘The Sun’ visited the festival in 2011 along with ‘Esquire’ who did a six-page pullout for their national magazine. NME Magazine called in at Sledmere in 2012 and ran an article on the sometimes weird and wacky world of tribute bands! In 2013 it was the turn of ‘The Sunday People’ who previewed bands that would be appearing.

We aim to make your stay a memorable one, so you’ll keep coming back year after year.
