Deal Festival 2021
AT A GLANCE
PROPOSED PROGRAMME FOR 2021
Thursday 1st July – Saturday 17th July
Some indoor venues are still to be confirmed as we do not have a clear enough idea of potential future Social Distancing measures.
Most times are currently given only as an indication. Dependent on Government Guidelines some events may be scheduled as two shorter concerts or one longer concert split conventionally in two halves.
Prices will be announced once we have a clearer idea of logistics.
