ONWARDS FESTIVAL
A multi venue live music festival with a twist!
Onwards
leads audiences successively through Huddersfield town centre’s independent
music venues, showcasing a carefully curated programme of live
music, art, culture and collaboration.
Onwards began in 2016 with the idea of a festival that would move audiences around town in a ‘pub crawl’ style with an emphasis on experiencing live music. Popular demand caused Onwards to grow, involving more venues and acts each year. Following a forced two year hiatus of the 2020 and 2021 festivals, the festival resumed for 2022 in a new two day format and now continues as an annual celebration of the local venues, musicians and artists in Huddersfield.
