Burn It Down Festival returns to Torquay from 3–5 September 2026.

Now firmly established as the South West’s largest indoor alternative music festival, Burn It Down has grown since its launch in 2018 into a key fixture on the UK alt-music calendar.

Taking place across multiple venues, the festival brings together a diverse mix of punk, hardcore, emo, metal, and alternative acts, alongside unique extras that capture the spirit of the English Riviera.

Recognised with awards for Best Micro Festival (2023) and Best Metropolitan Festival (2024), Burn It Down combines grassroots passion with national reach, offering an intimate but high-impact live music experience.

Tickets for 2026 are on sale now, with the option to spread payments over three months.
