2025 Festival Launch

The 2025 Somerton Music & Arts Festival will launch at Somerton’s Christmas Lights switch-on on Sunday 1st December. We’ll be there with lots of information about next year’s festival, including Somerstock, and plenty of competitions and events for all the family to get involved.

Come along and say hello…


MUSIC AT St MICHAEL’S

We’ve now hosted two fantastic concerts at our beautiful church in Somerton featuring tributes to Queen and Fleetwood Mac. Both were sell-out events and we’ll be bringing more live music to St Michael’s. Next up is ABBA on 27th February.

Coming up…

ABBA Revival

Relive the magic of a live ABBA concert spanning all the greatest hits.

This award winning ABBA Tribute Band ‘Revival’ has recently been voted the UK’s Official No.1 ABBA tribute act. Revival’s renowned ABBA stage show has wowed  audiences in the UK, Europe and the Middle East and just recently the band has been invited to perform a five day tour in ABBA’s homeland of Sweden.
Their show includes faithful choreography, spectacular and authentic costumes, stunning production and, most importantly, excellent musicianship.
ABBA Revival takes their audience on a musical journey back to those heady pop-tastic disco days when ABBA ruled the dance floor!

Guaranteed to get everyone dancing in the aisles at St Michael’s. If you love ABBA or you’re nuts about Mamma Mia, you’ll be in excellent company!

ABBA Revival will be supported by folk-pop artist Rowan Stuart, bridging the gap between reality and fantasy through the magic of music.

Previous events…

Fleetwood Bac

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.

The acclaimed Fleetwood Mac tribute band 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.

The Bohemians

Queen came to St Michael’s Church on the 3rd October – well not the actual Queen, but as good as…

The Bohemians  took a packed church audience 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!

Help to shape the Festival

Planning for the 2025 Somerton Music & Arts Festival is already underway.

As the festival continues to grow, we are keen to add more varied events to widen its appeal, especially to younger members of the community. We would love to hear what you would like to see included as part of festival week in July. Events can be anything within the fields of art, music, education or entertainment. More information on how you can get involved…

Or if you’d like to join our committee and have a real input into the organisation of the festival and it’s flagship Somerstock event, please let us know by emailing hello@somertonartsfestival.co.uk

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!
