Now expanded to 2 days, 2024 will be the biggest Takedown Festival ever and we are determined to make it the best yet! We have been blown away by the support and feedback we have received since bringing back one of the best-loved events to the South Coast earlier this year, including three nominations in the UK Festival Awards, and we are delighted to see Takedown staking its place as one of the key rock festivals in the calendar. The line-up announced so far offers a great range of bands and we’ve got more exciting announcements to come!”

After an 8 year hiatus, the legendary festival made a comeback in 2023 with last years headliners Sleep Token and Skindred. The festival moved from its Southampton University roots to the larger Portsmouth Guildhall to become one of the biggest rock events in the festival calendar once again. Takedown Festival’s comeback is part of a new partnership between Divergent Festivals and The Guildhall Trust.
The incredible return for Takedown Festival has been topped off having now been nominated for Best Small Festival, Best Metropolitan Festival and the Grassroots Festival Awards at 2023’s UK Festival Awards.
