Breaking Bands Festival,

England, United Kingdom England, United Kingdom

  • About the event

    Breaking Bands Festival takes place over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend every year within the wonderful backdrop of the Worcestershire hills in Bromsgrove. 

    Conveniently located close to M5, M6 and the M42 motorways with great bus, coach and train links makes its the ideal place for a weekend of camping and music. With plenty of cheap hotels right on the doorstep for those who want a more comfortable bed and now introducing affordable glamping with easy payment options.

    Taking notes from the past 20 years of attending festivals and events, the organisers have put a year of planning into the good, the bad and the ugly to come up with a festival they would pay to go to themselves.
    The slogan of the festival is Discover Your New Favourite Band and that is what thebbfest is all about. Promoting new bands, bands that people may never have seen, bands that are making their festival debuts as well as a few of peoples favourites.

    The festival was nominated and shortlisted for Best New Festival (2015), Best Small Festival (2016) and Best Festival for Emerging Talent (2016) at the UK Festival Awards. Also recently winners of Best Festival and Best Stage Crew with Obscene Chaos Zine.

    Each of the first 3 years, the festival has sold out well in advance so grab tickets early to avoid disappointment.

    Why should you sponsor?

    Currently we are a very small festival in comparison to some of the other UK music festivals but we have scope to grow and a community that wants to grow with us. We just need the finance to do this.

    Sponsoring our event in its early days is a true sign to us that you want to commit your company name and reputation to our cause. As we grow we will bring with us the companies that came on board early.

    We already have a new location for when we are financially able to move which can cater for our festival becoming 5,000 capacity. This site can also be increased to 20,000 so those getting on board now are the ones we will want to keep with us as we expand the festival.

    Its not a matter of IF, its a case of WHEN!


    Jason McGuire

    I am Jay, one of the four company directors for Breaking Bands Festival. I look after the main business side of things, the social media and the community.

    My background is music. Having previously owned my own record label, managing bands and running smaller events. I am also the station manager for Hard Rock Hell Radio, a worldwide digital radio station attracting thousands of rock music fans from around the world to listen to our radio station. We are backed by Europes largest residential festival company Hard Rock Hell who have a community of over 565k people.

    I am dedicated to the festival and work on this all year round while running my radio station. I run all the websites and social media sites and have become one of the front runners in the music scene for social media knowledge.

    Alongside me is my partner Stacey who is our graphic designer as well as working on coding for our festival apps. We then have Husband and Wife team of Steve and Jude. Jude is our financial director who is also an accountant and she looks after all the costs for the festival. Steve is our production manager. Having worked with Motorhead, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Hawkwind and many others on tours since the 80's Steve bring a vast knowledge of the stage to the table.

    Between the 4 of us we run a team of 30 crew and 20 volunteers. All the crew and volunteers started out as ticket holders as our festival is a true peoples festival.

    Because myself and the team are right in the middle of things, it brings confidence to the fans of the festival knowing that the directors are there watching the bands, drinking with the fans and buying merch off the bands.
