Derwent Fest 2026 – County Durham
Derwent Waterside Park hosts the fifth edition of Derwent Fest, a North East music festival built around tribute acts, twilight skies and a genuine dark skies camping experience.
Friday’s line-up brings Young Elton, The Coldplay Tribute and Bootleg Eagles, while Saturday steps things up with Bon Jovi Forever, The Killerz, Hariana Live and THR33 performing Take That, Boyzone and Westlife, alongside a Britpop Union set and a Now 80s throwback.
Food vendors from across the North East keep everyone fed throughout, with a licensed bar on site and modern camping facilities including toilets and showers for anyone staying over. It’s a dog-friendly festival, with furry friends welcome on a lead, and onsite parking included with every ticket, though a spot must be reserved in advance.
