Festival week 2024
The 2024 Somerton Music & Arts Festival was packed full of events including a live music weekender with local bands performing at our local hostelries, crafts workshops, talks, walks and special musical performances – including the world’s most authentic Fleetwood Mac tribute act at St Michael’s church. Culminating, of course, with Somerton’s own music festival Somerstock, which will returned to the Recreation Ground on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th July.
As a prelude to festival week, the popular Arts Exhibition provided local artists the chance to exhibit and sell their work
We’re bringing more live music to Somerton
Queen is coming to St. Michael’s!
Well, not actually Queen, or even the Queen. But as good as…
When Fleetwood Bac hit town in July, they were a barn-storming success. Fans of the original band couldn’t help but get up and dance in the aisles to their favourite songs. So we’re bringing more of the same to St Michael’s church in the coming months!
Starting on October 3rd with The Bohemians who promise to take you on a high energy roller-coaster ride of a concert, featuring the back catalogue of one of the world’s most popular and iconic rock bands of all time! If you love Queen, you won’t want to miss this!
FLEETWOOD BAC
Acclaimed tribute band Fleetwood Bac gave a barn-storming performance at St Michael’s and All Angels Church in July. The band, who look and sound just like the real thing and play all the hits with uncanny accuracy, played to a full church and had an ecstatic audience dancing in the aisles.

Somerstock
Somerton’s iconic music festival Somerstock is part of the Somerton Music and Arts Festival. Somerstock 2024 rolled back into town on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th, filling the Recreation ground with summer vibes, music and dancing. A fantastic lineup of musicians played on Friday evening and all day on Saturday along with all the usual attractions, bars and street food to set the taste buds alight.
Plans are already taking shape for the next edition of Somerstock… Watch this space!
Full Steam Ahead
The Festival Fortnight begins this year on 30th June with Cardiff Strings at St Michael’s Church. Events to follow include music nights at our local hostelries, talks and walks. It all culminates with Somerton’s own music festival, Somerstock. But before this, from the end of May into June there are pre festival events including craft and art workshops, live music from Twisted Vinyl at the Sports Club and the Art & Photography exhibition at the Parish Rooms.
There is so much local talent in our area. Visitors to the festival can see it all and even learn some new skills themselves, whether music, history, crafts or bees are your thing. There’s something going on to suit everyone at various locations around the town and many of the events are free.
We are a community event, and we couldn’t do any of it without the help of our sponsors and advertisers, and of course all our willing volunteers. If you’d like to join our merry team, please do get in touch.
We look forward to seeing you at some, or even all, of our events!
