Event Information

Taking place on Sunday 24th August 2025 (Bank Holiday weekend), the very best tribute bands come to the grounds of Battle Abbey. Back for year two we return to the ridiculously stunning Battle Abbey. Beautiful it is indeed, but, honestly, it’s the only suitable back drop for a stellar line up featuring some Nationally recognised Tribute acts. It really is too much for a Sunday. Even if it is a Bank Holiday. Opening at midday (first band 2.30pm) you should be well on the way home by by 11pm.
