Warrington Music Festival is back and this year it’s even bigger with two stages in prime position in the town centre.

The free, ticketless, open-air event will take place at Golden Square’s Old Market Place on Saturday, 25 May, shining a spotlight on new and emerging indie rock talent from across the region.

But new for 2024 is a second stage at Time Square which will showcase a more diverse range of artists and music genres, aimed at bringing a wider audience to the popular annual event.

Kicking off at midday, there will be live music throughout the day culminating in a headline performance by The Ambersons.

Warrington Music Festival was founded in 2007 and is organised by Steve Oates, from music development company Score Creative, and Christian ­­Persoglio, from Culture Warrington, together with Golden Square shopping centre.
