Music in the Town

Have you heard? Redhill will be making some noise this year for Arts Takeover 2026. As Redhill’s live music scene continues to grow, so too does the musical offering for the festival. 

Music in the Town this year will feature two live music stages as well as bands performing on the opening and closing Saturdays of the festival with music curated by Redstart and Canada Hill respectively. We're also excited to be working with Front Room Songs, who are presenting a programme of unique gigs and events. Katie Smith from Front Room Songs.
