We hope you’re having a stellar time at Infest 2024!
Planning has already started on the next edition of Infest, which will be the 25th FULL edition of Infest (25 in 25!). There are going to be some important changes for various reasons, which we shall try to explain. Read on:
We are moving to Manchester
Next year Bradford is the UK City of Culture, and unfortunately we believe Infest simply won’t work. We believe the main effect of City of Culture will be that accommodation will be unavailable, or unaffordable in sufficient quantity.
Two day event
We know that for many people money is tight, so in a concerted attempt to keep your costs down, we are planning for Infest ‘25 to become a 2 day event, meaning less hotel nights, but with just as many live acts.
Friday and Saturday format
We will move to a Friday night and Saturday all-day format. Travel home on Sunday. This is partly due to the event taking place one week earlier in 2025. That means Industrial Summer Camp will be moving to:
15th and 16th August 2025
The August Bank Holiday in Manchester is Pride weekend (Sat 23rd Aug in 2025), which makes accommodation very expensive and scarce, so we will be moving one week earlier to keep your costs down.
Same high quality live music
We love the social side of Infest over the long weekend which we are all used to, but the live acts and music has always been and will remain the driving force for us. The reduction of the event by a day will not mean a reduction in the quality or quantity of live acts.
A multi-stage event, all under one roof
We have had a great 24 live (+1 hybrid) years in Bradford, and we’re not ruling out coming back one day, but it’s time to move on.
We hope you are excited by our news as much as we are, and we hope to see you all at Industrial Summer Camp 25 in Manchester.
