"Beautiful Days never fails to live up to its name when it comes to the music, atmosphere and people, but this year it also had the weather to create the perfect unforgettable festival"
Shocked and saddened to hear that Terry Hall from The Specials has died aged 63. Our thoughts and condolences to Terry’s family, friends and bandmates
The Specials played a superb set at BD this August which has turned out to be one of the last ever shows he performed

We wanted to update you on where we are with Beautiful Days 2021. Unlike some of our bigger friends we have a little bit more time before we have to make a decision as to whether we can, or cannot, go ahead this year.
Happy to finally be able share details of our plans for
#BD2021
and confirm we're ON! 🙌🤸♀️🥳
Following Government guidance and to reduce risk - everyone working, performing or attending will be required to prove their Covid-19 status to gain access to the festival site.
We should have been starting to build

Pleased to announce that we will be charging NO COMMISSION to artists on revenue from the sale of their merchandise at the festival - 100% will go to the artist
We know how important merchandise revenue is for touring artists, particularly at the moment with so many rising costs
We stand today with the entire live music industry calling on the Government to provide urgent support before it's too late.
To support the campaign please share on your social media a photo of the last gig or festival you went to with the hashtag
