The Weekend Festival is set to arrive in Nottingham with two days of music, entertainment, and fun for all on September 21 and 22.
Held within Victoria Embankment Park alongside the River Trent, this festival promises an experience for music lovers of all ages with over 60 artists performing over the late summer weekend.
Saturday’s line-up boasts an mix of club hits and pop favourites, featuring performances by chart-topping acts such as Scouting For Girls, Toploader, Sammy Porter, and Pixel Kid. Festival-goers can groove to the beats of their favourite tunes, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Sunday’s festivities continue the excitement with headliners Boyzlife, Dub FX, The Dualers, and Switchotr taking to the stage. From soulful melodies to high-energy performances, Sunday promises to be a day to tick all the boxes.
But The Weekend Festival is more than just music. It’s a celebration of community and fun for everyone. Attendees can enjoy adrenaline-pumping activities like wrestling matches and extreme half-pipe displays or be captivated by celebrity magic shows. For younger guests, there are clowns and circus acts to keep them entertained throughout the weekend.
In addition to the thrilling entertainment line-up, patrons can tantalize their taste buds with a superb array of artisan food and drink offerings from around the world. From gourmet delicacies to street food delights, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
What sets The Weekend Festival apart is its commitment to making a positive impact through the transformative power of music and education (The Weekend Festival will donate 20% of gross profits.). Spearheaded by Robert Young and Paul Brodie the festival aims to raise awareness and support for select charities in the UK and the Philippines (both Robert and Paul’s wives are Filipino).
For 2024 the charities include Reach (Registered Charity no 1076318) and Knights Of The Rizal (Registered Charity no 1064313).
Reach is a Nottinghamshire charity supporting people with learning disabilities to live happier, healthier lives in their community. They work to achieve an enduring and positive impact by supporting all those who place their trust in us – people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.
The Knights of Rizal UK chapter operates as a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing the values and legacy of Dr. Jose Rizal within the Filipino community in the UK and promoting Filipino culture and heritage to a broader audience. The charity raises funds for study grants and donations in The Philippines.
Paul and Robert said “The idea of using music as a means to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and communities has always resonated deeply with us. As a team, our commitment to making The Weekend Festival a platform for celebrating connections and supporting our local communities is unwavering – whilst enjoying great music and entertainment!
We have always been dedicated to bringing happiness to children and underprivileged adults, which is why we’ve chosen to partner with Reach Learning Disability, a local charity close to our hearts.
Moreover, both our wives, being Filipinos, share a strong desire to give back to their homeland. Inspired by organisations like the Knights of Rizal, we are driven to make a difference in the Philippines by supporting initiatives that provide essential resources, such as free school supplies and nutritious meals, to disadvantaged children.
We firmly believe that through The Weekend Festival, we can make a meaningful impact both locally and globally, fostering a spirit of unity and compassion”.
