Dear Tech-Fam,

 

We are sad to tell you that Tech-Fest 2023 was the last Tech-Fest of its kind.

Tech-Fest was born in 2011 with the original plan of a one-day event. You, the fans, had belief in the concept and that has been the driving force since day one. We set out to create a place where bands and fans could unite, where we could bring this community together, chill and listen to our favourite music in one place, and that’s what we’ve done.

2023 was our tenth festival, TEN whole years (I mean technically 12 years, thanks covid for messing that up). It’s been over a decade of Tech-Fest, 100s of bands, all our amazing volunteers (who we couldn't do this without), and most of all you, the Tech-Fam ❤

These last few years have been hard ones. With the current state of the country, economy and the knock-on effect this has on the music industry, it is no longer sensible to continue running Tech-Fest in its current form. On top of that we have suffered a lot of personal loss which has taken its toll. In order to grieve properly and adjust to my life as it is now, I, Simon, wish to take a hiatus from organising an annual event. I need space to recover, rest and regroup. I hope you all understand.

Let us make this clear... This is not the end of Tech-Fest! However we are taking this opportunity as a new beginning. The main event will return in a different form down the line. 

Much love x
