Mayor's rock festival back for 10th year

The mayor of Wolverhampton is to host the city's annual Mayor's Fest fundraising event next month.

Councillor Craig Collingswood has launched this year's event, which marks its 10th run from 10 April.

It will bring three days of live music and entertainment to some of the city's "best-loved" venues, he said.

This year's event is supporting Acorns Children's Hospice, Compton Care, the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity and SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

"I would encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the music and help support these amazing causes," Collingswood said.

"With incredible acts including South of Salem, InMe and Beth Blade, alongside many talented supporting artists, it promises to be a brilliant celebration for rock fans and our wider community."

Tickets have gone on sale for Mayor's Fest 2026, which takes place from 10th to 12th April.
