Cloudspotting is a welcoming festival and community – a back-to-nature experience for a few hundred people, making it the ideal event for first-time young festival-going families, or the more seasoned reveller who is jaded with the trappings of the wider UK festival scene. The alchemy of our audience, artists and the pristine environment of Gisburn Forest combines for a magical, intimate atmosphere.

Acts who have graced the stage in recent years include The Earlies, Ezra Furman, The Leisure Society, King Creosote, Cate Le Bon, This Is The Kit, Melt Yourself Down and John Bramwell. A full roll-call of past performers can be found here.

This year’s line-up features Bill Ryder-Jones, Jeffrey Lewis (US), The Breath, ICHI (Japan), The Burning Hell (Canada), Isaac Birituro (Ghana), Honeyfeet, Alabaster DePlume and many more.

Come and join us. Put life on pause.
