If you are getting major Glastonbury FOMO right around now, fear not! Legendary live tribute festival GlastonBARRY returns to Barry next month, with 22 tribute bands and acts playing over two days. The festival also includes street food, stalls, big screens, DJs and a bar and a junior festival for the first time.
What began as a simple idea between two friends to host some tribute gigs at the MEMO Arts Centre has now blossomed into the must-see event of the year in Barry. Welcome to GlastonBARRY, a three-day music festival that has quickly become a local favourite.
From Friday, July 26th, to Sunday, July 28th, Romilly Park will transform into a musical wonderland, welcoming over 18,000 attendees. The festival will feature a range of tribute artists bringing the spirit and sounds of some of the world’s most beloved stars to Barry. Fans can look forward to performances by acts channeling Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, George Ezra, Foo Fighters, Tina Turner, Arctic Monkeys, ABBA, Bon Jovi, Blur, and Whitney Houston.
Back for a fourth year GlastonBARRY Junior. The little ones can have their very own festival experience on Friday, July 28th. GlastonBARRY Juniors will feature three top tribute acts designed for kids, along with mascots, magic, and more! It’s a perfect way for families to enjoy the festival vibe together.
The event’s origin is as charming as its rise to popularity. The festival’s founders, two local mates, initially organised tribute gigs just for fun. They never imagined it would grow into the large-scale festival that attracts thousands to Romilly Park each summer. Their passion for music and community spirit have turned GlastonBARRY into an annual highlight, bringing together people of all ages to enjoy good vibes and great music.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of rock, pop, or classic hits, there’s something for everyone at GlastonBARRY. So grab your picnic blanket, bring your friends and family, and get ready for a weekend filled with fantastic tunes, a massive sing-a-long and great memories.
Tickets are available now, so don’t miss out on experiencing the excitement firsthand. Visit the Glastonbarry website or local ticket outlets to secure your spot at Barry’s biggest party. Let’s make this July weekend one to remember! Glastonbarry.com
