The Long Road Festival

22nd August - 24th August
Stanford Hall, Melton Road, Loughborough, LE12 5QW

The 3 day camping festival of Country, Americana and Roots

This year, we’re bringing new experiences shaped by the moments you love most at The Long Road.

You asked, we listened—more music, more dancing, more time together.

For the first time, the Main Stage opens on Friday, giving you more headliners and more chances to soak up the music from the very start.

We’re also unveiling a brand-new venue, made for those who love to dance. A covered space for intimate sets, live sessions, and plenty of room to move.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Stanford Hall, with the River Avon winding through its creeks and centennial trees, The Long Road is more than a festival—it’s a place to belong.

Step into our six immersive stages, each recreating the iconic venues where Country music was born and still thrives today. From honky-tonks to front porch sessions, every corner of TLR is designed to make you feel the heart and soul of the music.

But the experience goes far beyond the stage. Savor the flavors of the South with authentic barbecue and Cajun eats, discover classic cars and bikes with our growing Lucky Dice community, and sip on the finest hard liquor tastings. Jump into the action with hot dog eating contests, line dancing, Country-oke, and quizzes—or just kick back and soak up the unbeatable atmosphere.

At the heart of it all? Our unmatched community. Every year, The Long Road family grows, but that same welcoming, down-to-earth spirit remains—just like in Country music itself.

Welcome home old friend.
