About Us

Founded in 2008, Worcester Music Festival is a free to access music festival with over 250 performances and free music related workshops taking place over three days.

The festival takes place in venues across the city centre – theatres, live music venues, pub back rooms, cafes and bars. In since 2018, we even hosted gigs in a tattoo studio and on a boat!
