Several venues in Calderdale are taking part in a new nationwide music festival.

UK charity Music Venue Trust (MVT) and The National Lottery today announce the first line-ups for Everywhere At Once –a UK-wide live music weekend that brings the festival season to grassroots venues across the country.

Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of June 26 to 28, 2026, more than 400 grassroots music venues will unite across the UK to create Everywhere At Once.

The event aims to celebrate the grassroots network that British music is built on.

Several events will be taking place in Sowerby Bridge across the weekend.

Sowerby Bridge Festival will take place at The Blind Pig on Saturday, June 27 from 2pm to 11pm and on Sunday, June 28 from 1.30pm.

On Saturday the event will feature Rage UK, Peyote Diablo, Sugar Crease, Warped and The B-Team.

On Sunday the event will feature Louder Than The DJ, The Revalator Band, Wellybob, Type 72 and Mariana.

Another event will take place at The Blind Pig on Friday, June 26 from 8pm with a performance from China Shop Bull with support from The B-Team and Nascent.

There will also be an event at The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge on Friday, June 26 at 8pm.

The show will feature Miki Berenyi Trio and John McKay's Reactore.

More than 2000 artists will be performing across the weekend. Established artists will be playing special shows at grassroots venues including Becky Hill who will play a hometown show at The Marrs Bar in Worcester.

Speaking about returning to the venue she played when she was 16, Becky Hill said "In these early days it was venues like this that allowed a very young me to begin to learn how to perform, sing and play guitar on stage, gaining my confidence and broadening my experience as a teenager.

“It saddens me greatly that grassroots venues are at risk as I believe that homegrown music is key to our country’s culture. I’m honoured to be working alongside The National Lottery & Music Venue Trust for their Everywhere At Once festival, 16 years later at the same venue but with far more experience!”
