You can’t keep a great festival down, and organisers of REWIND FESTIVAL are thrilled to announcing that it's bouncing back!! Following the Prime Minister’s step by step plan, the '80s retro festival will be going ahead this year with a party planned like no other! Taking place across two weekends in August, Rewind North and Rewind South will once again party like its 1985.

Following the 2018 event which saw Rewind South celebrate a decade of retro revival, and 2019's happening which proved a feast of nostalgia for the '80s and beyond, Rewind South returns to Henley on Thames from 20th-22nd August. Sister event Rewind North, meanwhile, will take place at Capesthorne Hall, Macclesfield from 6th -8th August.

There are a few things that all attendees will be asked to do to ensure that REWIND proceeds safely, and everyone continues to look after each other. These will be a condition of entry to the festival and are simple, but very important to keep us all safe:

1. If you are double jabbed, you will need to download the NHS app and set up your NHS Covid Pass. You just need to pop in a few details once you have downloaded the NHS app and follow the ‘Get your NHS Covid Pass’ and follow the events instructions…. you can then download the Covid pass, print it at home just like you would a boarding pass and it means that if phone reception is an issue, you won’t be delayed by having a printout

2. If you are not double jabbed, you will need to do a Lateral Flow Test 36 hours before you plan to arrive on site. You can find out where to get these from on the government website here, and then register the results on the gov.uk website. They send you a text and an email and you just need to bring a printout to show when you arrive!

Especially created for the Rewind Festival, Saturday nights will close with Jimmy Somerville’s Big BandTastic Boogie – a hit packed show with a massive big band with brass, strings and special effect including the world’s biggest party popper, as well asspecial guest Sarah Jane Morris recreating their 1986 #1 single ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’.

Sunday night will by headlined by the legendary Wet Wet Wet, making their Rewind Festival debut. Wet Wet Wet have sold in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date, featuring in the official UK charts for over a colossal 500 weeks and their albums have been certified 20 x platinum in the UK alone.

The REWIND festival will open with a unique show celebrating over 50 years since the formation of one of the world’s greatest rock bands – Queen. Queen Symphonic features a full symphony orchestra, a fantastic rock band and four soloists from the international productions of the musical We Will Rock You performing some of Queen’s greatest hits including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, We Are The Champions, A Kind Of Magic and many more:

Cutting Crew, Go West, Katrina, Roland Gift, Limahl, Pete Wylie, Soul II Soul, Aswad, Nik Kershaw, Grandmaster Flash, John Parr, Altered Images.

And if all this isn’t enough, “say hello” to especially exciting news for 2021 - the launch of The Pink Flamingo Club in the Big Top, an 80’s themed nightclub, with headline DJs Pat Sharp, Gary Davies and Mark Goodier spinning all your favourite 80’s tunes to keep the party atmosphere going well into the night! Each day will have celebrity DJs and live bands, kicked off each weekend with the legendary Uncle Funk & the Boogie Wonderband.

Sunday night will conclude with a fantastic firework display – what better way to end the weekend than with the skies being lit up with a stunning display.

And there’s more!!! Rewind Festival weekend is not just about who is performing on the main stage, but an event including other exciting entertainment such as Electro Picture Lounge, Silent Disco, funfair rides, kidzone with entertainment for the little Rewinders,shops & stallsfor jewellery, t-shirts, food & drink plus doing crowd work outs, it’s none other than keep fit guru, Mr. Motivator!

And if “love is all around” & you fancy tying the knot “come on and let it show” in full Rewind style in the Inflatable Church! Yes, the big church of rubbery love is once again rockin’ 80s vibes.

And for those wanting to make a whole weekend of it there’s the general camping area - the perfect place to pitch your tent! Or for those not wanting a night under canvas there are Campervan or caravan pitches and with shower and toilet facilities available within the campsite everything is only ever a short walk away.
