Todd in the Hole has wrapped up its biggest festival yet — with tickets already selling fast for 2025's edition.
The Hertfordshire music festival celebrated a record-breaking turnout of 15,000 enthusiasts last weekend, with sell outs on the Saturday and Sunday.
From the moment the doors opened last Friday visitors danced, sang and revelled in the high-energy performances of Rick Parfitt Jnr & the RPJ Band, The Stereotonics, Fore Fighters, 7 Wonders of Fleetwood Mac, with legendary DJ Dave Pearce bringing the house down at The Woods Afterparty.
On Saturday, the sell-out crowd was treated to a headline set from Killers tribute The Killerz along with music from U2UK, The Nashville Nights Band, and Pet Shop Boys and Dire Straits tributes.
Sunday saw the return of Todd favourites, the Australian band Furnace & The Fundamentals, with Definitely Could Be Oasis and Dan Budd as Robbie Williams also rocking the crowd.
Festival co-founder David Nye expressed his joy at this year's success, paying tribute to the incredible team that worked tirelessly behind the scenes.
“We’re absolutely overwhelmed by the success of the festival this year. It was amazing to sell out on Saturday and Sunday for the first time.
"We can’t thank everyone who comes year after year to support us. We have so many exciting plans up our sleeve for Todd 2025 and the team are already hard at work!"
Co-founder Mark Watts echoed the sentiment, summing up the weekend as nothing short of incredible, leaving him "blown away by the Todd love”.
Todd in the Hole will return to Todds Green, Stevenage, from July 11 to July 13 next year.
Early bird tickets for Todd in the Hole 2025 have already sold out.
Day tickets and Tier 1 weekend tickets have now gone on sale at www.toddinthehole.co.uk.
It's not just about the big acts at Todd in the Hole either — the festival prides itself on giving local talent the chance to shine with The Woods, Vincent and Buskers stages showcasing a line-up of homegrown stars and emerging talent.
Performances this year included The New Town Centres, The Scallywags, Kit Bottomley, Max Ryan, Steve Young, Snubcat, Egg and Bacon Band plus loads more.
New for this year was the introduction of a Dance Den in The Woods showcasing local up-and-coming DJs and a Cabaret Stage hosted by Magenta Slipperz.
Beyond the music, Todd in the Hole embraced its role in giving back to the community. This year, organisers were proud to have supported the East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals' Charity.
