First Band Announcement for Breaking Bands Festival 2023!

With just 2 weeks to go until hundreds of music fans descend onto the hallowed ground of Stoke Prior for the long awaited return of Breaking Bands Festival, it's time to put the wheels in motion for 2023!

With nearly 500 band applications already received, the BBFest selection team have had their work cut out to narrow down the list for the first announcement.

19 bands kick off the line-up for the 8th chapter of the award winning Breaking Bands Festival which will be held Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th May 2023 (going home on the traditional bank holiday Monday!).

As announced by live video, Festival Organiser Mucka Jay took a run through of the bands confirmed to play next year's event. Promising to top this year's extended 5 day event Jay said that the team have been inundated not just from grassroots bands but also bigger named touring bands who would all like to come and support the festival.

Firstly, a band who started way back in 1978 having released 17 studio albums and toured across the globe, very special guests of next year's festival is Tygers of Pan Tang. Barcelona Trio Stop, Stop! have been announced as headliners and they guarantee to bring the party to Bromsgrove!
