'It’s shaping up to be a fantastic day out' - Free tickets for new live music festival in Boston now available to book; more line-up details revealed

B-Fest 2026 will be held in Boston’s Central Park on Sunday, August 2, from 12pm.

The event is billed by organisers Boston Borough Council as ‘a vibrant hub of live music, entertainment and community celebration’ and ‘an exciting day out for all ages’.

While the event is free to attend, visitors are encouraged to book tickets in advance to help manage capacity and ensure the best possible experience for everyone, the council says.

Free tickets can be booked via the Eventbrite page, with further information available at: https://www.boston.gov.uk/B-Fest2026

B-Fest 2026 will feature a full day of live entertainment, showcasing ‘a dynamic line-up of local talent and leading tribute acts’, the council says.

Confirmed performers include:

• Bon Giovi, an international Bon Jovi tribute band
• ABBA Infinity Tribute
• So Taylor, celebrating music from across Taylor Swift’s eras
• Quo Connection, replicating the sound of classic Status Quo
• 11th Hour, a high-energy local band performing hits spanning four decades
• DJ Shaun Neal, who will keep the atmosphere lively with popular 80s and 90s anthems

In addition to the live performances, festivalgoers will be able to explore a wide selection of street food and drink vendors, alongside a fully licensed bar serving both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.

Visitors are also welcome to bring their own picnics and sealed soft drinks.

A range of additional activities will be available across the site, including creative workshops and crafts and family-friendly entertainment.

Attendees are advised:

• Entry is free, but requires a ticket booked in advance
• Dogs are not permitted on site, except for registered assistance dogs
• Visitors are not permitted to bring their own alcohol on site

Attendees are encouraged to walk or cycle where possible, though parking information is available at https://www.boston.gov.uk/carparks

As the weather cannot be guaranteed, visitors are also advised to plan accordingly.

The council stresses that attendance is strictly by pre-purchased ticket only. Tickets must be secured in advance, and are expected to sell out quickly, it warns.

Coun Dale Broughton, leader of Boston Borough Council said: “We’re really proud to be bringing something new and exciting into the town centre for everyone to enjoy.

“B-Fest is all about making the most of our public spaces and giving people a great reason to come together in the heart of Boston.

“We’ve got some brilliant acts lined up this year, with something to suit all tastes, and there’s plenty going on beyond the music too.

“From food and drink to activities for families, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic day out.

“More importantly, it’s completely free to attend, which makes it a great low-cost option for families looking to enjoy a full day of entertainment over the summer.

“We’d really encourage people to get their tickets booked and come along to support the event and enjoy everything that’s on offer in Central Park.”
