Artists including Ladi6, Ria Hall, and Trinity Roots will join the 41 acts that were set to play this year’s event, which was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
After having to postpone this year’s festival, slated for March, Homegrown is back with a new stage, ten new acts, and 2,500 more tickets.

“This is by far the strongest line-up we’ve ever put together,” festival director Andrew Tuck says, “We’ve been really lucky that all of the bands, bar two, are still able to play and every stage is incredibly strong, it’ll be a tough call on the day as to which of the six stages to choose.” says Tuck.
