Stalyfest took place at Bower Fold, the iconic home of Stalybridge Celtic FC, for a two-day music festival on May 9^th and 10^th, On the Friday Stalyfest recreated a banging club-scene with an event hosted by Danny B. Majestic appeared with support by both Ellie and StephaniB.

Further support came from DJs Tristan Walsh, Chris J Frater, and Will Anthony.

On the Saturday, Stalyfest brought a more traditional music festival feel.  The host, Tameside Radio’s Laura Beth, introduced joint headliners Cast and Starsailor, and our exciting mix of supporting acts.

Further support came from The Beatles Dub Club (a reggae/ska style Beatles DJ groove), The Rolling People (Stockport-based indie band), Cobain Jones (one of Stalybridge’s own), and Plastic Heart.

Stalyfest was delighted to have named The Christie Charity as it’s charity partner for the event.  Nigel Jones, the club Chairman explained that: “Virtually everyone in the region will know someone who has relied on the amazing Christie Hospital at a time of need, so we are so excited to name The Christie Charity as our partner for our first festival.  We will be able to give the charity plenty of opportunities to share their profile alongside the Stalyfest brand and raise all important funds at the same time”.
