🎢 HAVE YOU – OR ANYBODY YOU KNOW – BEEN WORKING AS A WAITRESS IN A COCKTAIL BAR? 🎢

We couldn’t possibly have an 80s-themed opening night without these guys!

Joining us on Friday 21st May for the opening night of The Kent Tribute Festival 2027 is the UK’s leading tribute to 80s icons The Human League – Love Distraction: A Tribute to The Human League!

Expect all those unmistakable synth-pop classics and some HUGE 80s anthems as we kick off what promises to be a brilliant weekend of live tribute music.

We’re really looking forward to seeing these guys in action – and welcoming plenty of familiar faces (and hopefully lots of new ones!) for another fantastic Kent Tribfest weekend in late May 2027.

The 80s are calling… πŸ“žπŸŽΉπŸ•Ί

Hi everyone!

We hope you've enjoyed what's been a scorching summer!

Thank so much to everyone that's already secured either their camping or day tickets for next May's fun at Quex Park - everyone in the tribfest team really appreciates your support.

Just a quick heads up that there's about 80 or so of the very cheapest weekend tickets left, around 23 spots in the 'Camping Plus' area - a spot right next to the music event entrance to save a longer walk - ideal for anyone with any mobility issues or those that need fewer steps after a few drinks to find their spots 🀣 - and just 18 pitches left for those that want to avoid the Bank Holiday traffic and arrive after 5pm on Thursday evening (27th May).

We're looking forward to the 80s night which kicks off the event on 28th May - with tributes to George Michael, the amazing Tasha Leaper as Madonna, A Tribute to The Human League : Love Distraction, and The DURAN DURAN Experience - comment below if you're planning on some 80s fancy dress that night - we need to know how many prizes to get!

Thanks again - and if you've any friends or family that haven't yet booked - give them a nudge so they get the cheapest deal for what promises to be another brilliant weekend next May!

It's only because of the dynamic duo that is Barry & Maxine that we're able to offer camping again for you in 2027 - and many of you have ALREADY snapped up your spots in the lovely grounds of Quex Park (Bravo - some seriously organised people you are!)

There might be a reason though that Barry was up for going again in 2027. When we chatted with them afterwards, Barry said: "I've never been offered so many drinks in my life!"

Ah - there you go!

You have to watch these crafty campers! 🀣

Seriously though, thanks Barry & Max for offering to put themselves through it again. There were times over the event weekend they looked pretty traumatised by it all 🀣

Thanks very much x

🎸 Introducing a Local & Live Element to TribFest 2027! 🎸

One thing we've wanted to do for a while is give some fantastic local talent the opportunity to perform at The Kent Tribfest alongside our tribute acts – and we're delighted to announce that 'The Lost Weekend' will be joining us on Saturday 29th May!

Following a local flavour theme, they'll be taking to the stage shortly after our local favourites Chas & Dave, making this a brilliant celebration of home-grown talent.

If you haven't seen The Lost Weekend before, you're in for a treat. They've performed across Kent for many years and built a fantastic reputation for delivering high-energy live performances.

Expect an incredible set packed with classics from bands including:

🎡 The Beatles
🎡 The Jam
🎡 The Kinks
🎡 Blur
🎡 Supergrass
🎡 And many more!

We're passionate about supporting live music in our area, and we feel this is the perfect slot to showcase a band that has been entertaining audiences across Kent for years.

Please give The Lost Weekend a warm TribFest welcome when they take to the stage on Saturday evening – we can't wait to see them rock the festival!

We are REALLY looking forward to welcoming back The Killaz UK (seen here in 2023) - this time to entertain you lovely lot at Quex Park next May!

Well done to those of you that have already snapped up some of the super earlybird bargain tickets and those who've booked some of the early arrival tickets for the Thursday evening before all the fun starts on the Friday.

Tell your friends to get booking the bargains before they run out - and check out the website (in comments below) where you'll see who we've assembled so far for your entertainment over the weekend.

Much fun to be had again next May! :)

πŸŽ‰ ANNOUNCEMENT! πŸŽ‰

(Grab a coffee... or refill that wine glass 🍷)

After finally catching our breath following an absolutely brilliant weekend with all of you last month, we were busy debating whether we'd put ourselves through it all again next year...

Then one very dedicated Kent Tribfest regular sent us a message reminding us that 2027 marks our 10th Anniversary.

Apparently, we had no choice. πŸ˜„

So we're delighted to confirm that Kent Tribfest 2027 will return to Quex Park from 28th–30th May 2027 for what promises to be our biggest and best celebration yet!

What a venue. What a team. What a crowd.

From the fantastic Quex Park staff, to a security team that could probably headline the main stage themselves, to the friendliest bar and food vendors around – and, of course, all of you who make the atmosphere so special – we're incredibly excited to do it all again.

πŸ’› Thank you for making us feel so welcome at our new home. As many of you told us, it already feels like one big Kent Tribfest family.

A quick note on ticket prices:

You'll notice a small increase for 2027. Quex Park were incredibly generous with their introductory hire rates this year, but maintaining such a beautiful venue comes with significant costs. Much of the increase will go directly towards the venue hire and improving facilities across the weekend.

We've listened to your feedback and will be investing in additional toilets, bins and site services to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. These behind-the-scenes teams work incredibly hard (especially over a Bank Holiday weekend!) and it's important to us that they're properly supported and fairly paid.

πŸ•οΈ A couple of new additions for 2027:

β€’ Thursday Early Entry Camping – A limited number of campers will be able to arrive from 5pm on Thursday 27th May for an additional charge.

β€’ Camping Plus – Thanks to staff giving up some parking areas, we're introducing a small Camping Plus section closer to the music arena. Ideal for those who'd like to be nearer the action or who have mobility concerns. Check out the site map on our website to see if it's right for you - again, a small additional charge if this is for you.

Many festivals of our size are sadly disappearing as costs continue to rise, so we're hugely grateful that we're still here, preparing to celebrate 10 years of Tribfest memories. With your continued support, we'd love to keep this special weekend going for many years to come.

And the line-up?

Oh yes... we're planning a huge 80s-themed opening night, and trust us when we say we've got some incredible acts lined up for Saturday and Sunday too.

You don't get to celebrate 10 years without bringing in some top-class tribute artists. πŸ˜‰

Thank you for all your support, kind comments, messages and emails. It genuinely means the world to us and makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Here's to 10 years of Kent Tribfest... and one unforgettable anniversary celebration in 2027! πŸŽΆπŸŽ‰
