Immerse yourself in Rochester Castle's edgiest indie music festival as Downtown Festival returns in 2025, bringing with it some of the most renowned indie bands in the UK, local talent, and an incredible atmosphere.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Indie Extravaganza
Downtown is all about the music that stirs your soul. We’ll be curating another lineup with praised names you won’t want to miss. After last year's epic debut with Kaiser Chiefs, Daytime TV, The Wedding Present, and the winners of our local bands showdown, we’re gearing up for an even bigger edition.
Exploring Medieval Vibes: Picture this—a festival in a 12th-century royal castle, one of the best preserved in the UK. If that isn’t iconic, we don’t know what is.
Beyond the Music: Delicious local food, drinks, and entertainment. Meet other music lovers, discover new bands, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
