After 11 wonderful years, I’m afraid The Eyes Have It Music Festival has come to an end.
These decisions are never easy to make, but with attendance quite a way down this year, and the event running at a significant financial loss, it is no longer financially viable for the festival to continue.
I want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has ever bought a ticket, attended, performed, volunteered, or supported the festival in any way. You helped create something truly special. From the amazing music and unforgettable performances to the friendships, laughter and memories made over the years, it’s been an incredible journey.
I’m immensely proud of what we achieved together over the last 11 years. What started as an idea grew into an event that brought people together to celebrate the beauty of live music and created memories that will stay with me forever.
A very special thank you goes to the amazing team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. To our stewards, sound and lighting crews, stage teams, volunteers, traders, suppliers, and everyone else who gave their time, energy and passion to make each festival such a success—you were the heart of the event, and I couldn’t have done it without you.
And so, to all you wonderful people, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the Eyes Have It Festival and for being part of its story.
