RivFest have today (28 April) announced the line-up for their 2021 edition. The event will see Graeme Park, Everything Everything and Abi Rose Kelly headline their stages this year, with lots of other great emerging and local talent on the bill, including The Lounge Society and Pizzagirl.

To be held at 3,000 cap venue The Old Market Square in Warrington from 6 – 8 August, all proceeds from ticket sales will go to the River Reeves Foundation – a charity set up in the name of River who tragically died in a car accident in 2016, alongside his friends and band members of Viola Beach.

The charity provides grants of up to £500 to ‘support young people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve their artistic ambitions’. This year, the festival coincides with the 5-year anniversary of Viola Beach posthumously reaching number 1 in the official album charts, so will act as a bittersweet celebration for this too.

Tickets are priced at £10 for Friday, £20 for Saturday and free for Sunday, whilst tickets for the whole weekend are £25. Tickets will be available from Friday 30th April at 12pm via this link: Rivfest 2021 2 Day Ticket - Culture Warrington
