Summer’s Calling… and Plymouth’s Home Park is Answering with 3 Epic Days of Music!
The countdown is on: the late May bank holiday is about to get loud and a little bit exciting, and Plymouth is at the heart of it all with three massive days of music at Home Park Stadium. Yep – it’s the return of the ‘At Argyle’ festival series, and this year’s lineup is bigger, better, and bursting with star power.
From a Spice Girl to the Kaiser Chiefs, members of Take That and JLS, Gorgon City, and even kid-favourites Bluey & Bingo and Mr Tumble – and the just announced Streets legend Mike Skinner it’s a full-blown festival takeover. And the best part? It’s all super affordable, easy to get to, and right on the doorstep of the South West.
While festivals across the UK face serious challenges in the wake of rising costs and tough economic times, a team of passionate local promoters have pulled off something special. Against the odds, they’re back for a second year – bringing world-class music, community vibes, and pure joy to Plymouth and beyond.
Promoter Ben Gill-Carey says “We’re absolutely buzzing to be bringing ‘At Argyle’ back for a second year – and to be honest, it means the world. It’s not easy out there for events right now, but the support we’ve had from the local community, Plymouth Argyle, and everyone behind the scenes has kept us going. Being able to put world-class artists on a stage right here in Plymouth, create jobs, and give people something to look forward to – that’s what it’s all about. We’re proud to be doing this as an independent team, and we can’t wait to see everyone singing their hearts out at Home Park!”
In partnership with Plymouth Argyle Football Club, this homegrown festival has become a true team effort. From local suppliers and freelancers to food vendors, tech crews, and security – it’s a celebration powered by people right here in the region.
Head of Venue at Plymouth Argyle says “We’re proud to partner once again on the ‘At Argyle’ series – a fantastic celebration of music, community, and culture here in Plymouth. Collaborating with a passionate local promoter to bring such high-calibre entertainment to Home Park aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting the city and providing inclusive, accessible experiences for all. It’s more than just a music event – it’s a chance to energise the local economy, create jobs, and bring people together through shared moments that matter.”
This year, they’re going even bigger – adding an extra day to the mix to kick things off in style. That means more music, more memories, and more reasons to get involved.
