This festival has been postponed until 2019. A message posted on the official website says...

We have made the difficult decision to postpone our 2018 festival until 2019, which will take place on the same weekend at Bristol Harbourside.

We know this is really disappointing and that tons of you have planned a weekend in Bristol to join us. We want to create the best Grillstock festival possible for our fans, but this year have found ourselves with a very short time frame to deliver the operational elements of the event. Alongside our production team we have concluded we are better to postpone than to compromise the quality of the event so we can focus on making 2019 bigger, better and meatier.

We are inviting ticket holders to keep their tickets for 2019 and we’ll reward those who do with free Grillstock Festival swag (see below) and a 20% discount at our smokehouses this year as a huge thank you for your ongoing support for the festival. We’re receiving huge support from our suppliers, the bands and our partners, which is awesome and means we can hit the ground running for next year with tickets on sale again by November. The Fun Lovin’ Criminals gave us this statement;

“We are really sorry to hear that Grillstock will not be happening this year. We go way back with Grillstock and hope that maybe next year we can fill your ears with the mucho grande style while you are filling your stomachs with some of the best festival food we’ve ever tasted!”

Ticket holders

Tickets bought for 2018 will be honoured for our re-arranged dates next year and as a thank you for your continued support we will give each ticket holder:

• A free 2019 Grillstock festival T-shirt
• A drink token

Pit Crew Tickets

Pit Crew tickets bought for 2018 will be honoured for our re-arranged dates next year and as a thank you for your continued support we will give each ticket holder:

• A free commemorative 2019 festival hoodie
• An additional drink token
• A 20% discount at Grillstock smokehouses this year with the production of your digital ticket

• Alternatively, ticket holders may opt to have their tickets refunded and buy again next year by emailing support@theticketfairy.com with the order number, specifying if you want a full refund or just for some of the tickets in the order (in which case they should also specify which ticket IDs and/or ticket holder names as printed on the individual PDFs).

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend and please feel free to email us at info@grillstock.co.uk with any questions or comments. We are already working on the festival for 2019 and can’t wait to see you all there.
