Organisers confirm full line-up and stages for Northampton Music Festival

There will be more than 60 acts performing across six stages when the festival returns on Sunday, September 8.

For the first time, the Main Stage will be in Guildhall Road facing up towards the town centre.

The Classical & World Fusion Stage will be at Northampton Museum, the Jazz Stage will be at All Saints Church, the Student Showcase Stage will be at the Performing Room in Guildhall, the Acoustic Stage at V&B in St Giles’ Square and the Beats, Lyric and poetry Stage at Coconut Paradise in Gold Street.

Organisers of this year’s festival again found themselves looking for a new location for the main stage because of the ongoing work in both Abington Street where it was last year and Market Square where it has traditionally been.
