Blackthorn Music Festival 2016

A Bit About The Festival

The fourth Blackthorn Music Festival was again held at White Bottom Farm, in the picturesque Etherow Park, in Compstall, Greater Manchester.

Yet another (fourth) stage was added this year and the event site and camp site swapped around. The main stage (inside a barn) again played host to a mixture of indie, rock and pop, with mostly original music, but some tribute acts on Friday, with a lightly amplified acoustic/country stage and two alternative stages inside medium sized marquees.

The festival ran from late afternoon on Friday, throughout Saturday and finished early evening on Sunday. In total around 75 acts appeared, making it difficult to see them all - around two thirds are shown here.
