Summer Sounds
A new two-day global music festival.
2-3 Aug 2025
Shades on! Soak up the sun at Summer Sounds, our music weekender across two stages in Cliffe Castle Park.
Summer Sounds is Bradford 2025’s very own music festival – a two-day spectacular under the West Yorkshire sun.
We’re presenting a stellar array of acts across two stages in Cliffe Castle Park:
- On Saturday experience rhythm, energy and radical connection from the legendary instrumentalist Ustad Noor Bakhsh to pioneers of the contemporary British Asian music scene Metz n Trix.
- On Sunday Nitin Sawhney and Poppy Ajudha headline a packed line-up of artists whose music knows no boundaries – from singer-songwriters, poets and soul divas.
Mix in creative workshops and the all-important food and drink stalls, and you have the recipe for an unmissable weekend.
Tickets are just £15 for one day or £25 for the full weekend – see full details below and book today…
