Buckinghamshire music & arts festival Stowaway

With just three weeks to go before the third Stowaway Festival, the much-loved Buckinghamshire festival’s 2024 ticket sales are already 20% above last year's figure, an incredible achievement for an emerging event amidst the incredibly difficult current climate in the UK festival sector.

Comments Stowaway Festival founder Duncan Wheeler: “I’m really proud that we’re managing to grow Stowaway year-on-year despite how challenging the festival sector is at the moment. With Stowaway we wanted to take it all back to what the essence of what a festival should be about - joy, freedom and good vibes, offering good value so people don’t feel ripped-off - and this seems to be resonating with our audience. We’ve made some tweaks to the site this year and have a really exciting line-up - I genuinely can’t wait to welcome people here in August.”

Taking place August 16th - 18th 2024 in ancient woodlands & lakes near Stowe, Buckinghamshire, Stowaway offers an eclectic, uplifting musical mix across multiple stages, with incredible late night offerings happening at the atmospheric ‘Shake Off’ and ‘Go West’ stages in The Woods and the scenic ‘The Jetty’ stage overlooking the lake.

On Friday 16th, Greentea Peng will headline the Main Stage and afterwards, at midnight, Groove Armada will headline The Shake Off stage with a DJ set. On Saturday 17th the Main Stage will be headlined by Leftfield, preceded by Joe Goddard, who returns with a full live band after closing Stowaway in 2023 with an incredible DJ set. Later on, The Shake Off stage will feature DJ sets from LTJ Bukem and Dillinja. On Sunday 18th, Max Cooper will headline the Main Stage with his stunning AV show - one of his only two festival appearances this summer - while Artwork will close the festival with a DJ set on The Jetty.

The Comedy Stage will feature sets from Kiri Pritchard-Mclean, Laura Smyth, Marlon Davis, Lindsey Santoro, Dinesh Nathan, Joey Page, Andy Stedman and Paul Revill.
