Cumbria’s brightest and best music and arts festival, Solfest returns with another delightfully diverse and exciting range of artists who will grace the stage and have you up and dancing this summer.
Springing up annually like a wild flower in the Cumbrian meadows, Solfest has evolved continually since its inception in 2003, transitioning from a local shindig, into one of the best loved of the UK's independent festivals.
Appearing:
Doves
Former members of dance hit makers Sub Sub (best known for their no.3 hit 'Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use), who as Doves became purveyors of indie-rock anthems like 'Pounding' and top ten singles 'There Goes The Fear' and 'Black And White Town'. Their mellow guitar-driven indie sounds with irresistable chord arrangements sometimes give way to playful dance undercurrents. After a lengthy hiatus, the band announced in December 2018 they were back. 2020 saw them release music for the first time in over a decade. 2025 sees the release of their sixth album, however their touring band will be without frontman Jimi Goodman.
