About

Stevenage Old Town is welcoming people back to the high street, with a free one-day Music Festival. Old Town Live will showcase live bands from 8 separate stages across Stevenage Old Town in bars, pubs and from on-street stages on Sunday 3rd October 2021. Between 12.00pm and 10.00pm a rotating programme of bands and singers from all genres will play 45-minute sets, with over 40 acts performing during the event. The event has been designed to encourage people back to shop, enjoy local food and drink and to support local music acts as they perform live after a protracted and enforced hiatus due to Covid-19. Street food and festival market stalls will pepper pedestrian areas and family activities will keep the youngest people engaged. Old Town Live is part of the government’s programme to welcome people back to the high street after COVID-19. It is being delivered by local businesses in partnership with Stevenage Borough Council.
