Plumpton Revival

In 1969 and 1970, Plumpton Racecourse played host to one of the most legendary — yet overlooked — festivals in British music history. Acts like Pink Floyd, The Who, Ginger Baker, Peter Green, and Black Sabbath lit up the Sussex skies before the festival was forced to relocate due to noise complaints… eventually evolving into what we now know as the Reading Festival.

Now, more than 50 years on, that forgotten chapter of British counterculture is set to roar back into life. Plumpton Revival – Summer of Love will take place on August 8–9, 2026, transforming the racecourse into a full-scale, immersive reimagining of those extraordinary late-60s/early-70s weekends.

“It’s more than just a tribute — this is about reclaiming a forgotten chapter of UK music history and re-igniting it for a new generation.” Theo Crew, Creative Producer.

Samuel Ashton & the Instincts are set to appear on Saturday 8th August
