Twinfest

Musicians from France and Germany will join acts from Northampton this month when Twinfest returns to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, music venues across the town will be hosting gigs across four days with acts from Northampton’s music scene joining performers from twinned towns Poitiers and Marburg.

Looking ahead to this year’s festival, which takes place from Thursday, July 28 to Sunday, July 31, Kenny Precious – who has been involved in helping to organise Twinfest since 2010 – said: “It feels amazing to be back, these two years away have been difficult for everyone given what we’ve all been through and having the opportunity to put on this show again now is hopefully as cathartic for us as it will be for everyone involved.
