This year, Splendour Festival returns and for the tenth year we will be there as a main sponsor. Splendour is Nottingham’s largest outdoor music event which takes place annually at Wollaton Hall & Deer Park. Every year, countless Confetti students ‘Do It For Real’ both on stage and behind-the-scenes, helping to bring the festival to life. Since the first Splendour in 2008, the festival has grown substantially and has become one of the most anticipated days out for the people of Nottingham. Suitable for the whole family, the weekend is filled with fantastic live music and fun activities.
Over 40 acts will perform across 5 stages – including our very own Confetti stage – with some world-class headliners Madness, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Rudimental and The Kooks. Also represented in this year’s line-up, are a range of Confetti bands and artists ready to take Splendour by storm! Read on to learn all about this year’s Confetti acts.
