NMF26 ☑️ Well, that’s a wrap on Northampton Music Festival 2026! 🤩💜 We hope you all had a fantastic day with us in Northampton Town Centre yesterday! 🙏🏻

This year marked 19 years of Northampton Music Festival, and we’re already looking ahead to 2027, when we’ll be celebrating an incredible 20 years of NMF! 🎉🎶

A festival of this scale simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people, organisations and businesses who help bring it all together.

A huge thank you to our Main Sponsor, Northampton Town Council, and our Major Sponsors — Northampton Town Centre BID, University of Northampton, The Wilson Foundation, BBC Introducing and West Northamptonshire Council — for your continued support, belief in this much-loved local event, and for helping us keep live music accessible to everyone! 🧡

We also want to say a massive thank you to our amazing festival team, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and that the day is the best it can possibly be. 👏🏻

A huge shout-out to the incredible team at MOSounds for making the festival look and sound amazing! 🔥

To our fantastic performers — thank you for showcasing the incredible musical talent we have here in Northampton. You made the festival what it is! 🎤🎸🎶

And, of course, a very special thank you to our security team and first aid team. 🛡️❤️ Your hard work, professionalism and dedication helped keep everyone safe and ensure that festival-goers could enjoy the day with confidence. You’re a hugely important part of making NMF happen, and we really appreciate everything you do. 🙏🏻

Finally, thank you to everyone who came along and supported Northampton Music Festival! 💜 Your enthusiasm, energy and continued support mean so much to us, and it’s what makes this event so special year after year.

We can’t wait to see you all again in 2027 for our 20th anniversary! 🤩🎉
