Free Festival list.
We've created this index of the free festivals we know of and sites that contain any information about them . If the site has a good deal of information about the festival we have linked directly to it and marked the page with a #. If its hardly got any content we've usually added the information to the pages we have created about the event . Most of the pages will contain links to photo sites of the festivals on the net , bands that played at the festivals and any recording details .
This list is in no way definitive and is being added to whenever new information turns up and the site is constantly being updated . It has been gleaned mainly from net scouring and therefore is almost definitely NOT completely accurate . If you can help with ANY information please do not hesitate to contact us Contact email
