WITHOUT BORDERS NORTH

Two Cities. One Festival. No Borders. Without Borders is a new independent alternative music weekender built around one simple idea: bringing the North and South together through live music. Taking place across Cheltenham and Leeds on 25 & 26 September 2027, the festival brings together five emerging artists from the North and five from the South, creating one diverse ten-band lineup that performs in both cities across the weekend. Rooted in alternative rock, punk, emo, post-hardcore and everything in between, Without Borders is about breaking down regional barriers, championing grassroots music and giving exciting new artists a platform alongside established names. From recognised headliners to genuinely undiscovered talent, every artist has been chosen on merit, not streaming figures or industry hype.
