THE MOVEMENT.

Novacaine Festival exists to champion the next generation of rock, metal, emo and alternative artists.

We’re more than a festival - we’re a community.

A platform for new voices. A launchpad for the future.

"When the final notes fade and the inaugural Novocaine Festival draws to a close, it’s clear the day has been a massive success, a testament to both the organisers and every band on the bill. It’s also proof of just how strong the music scene is in Sheffield and its surrounding areas."
