We understand that these events can be intimidating and want to ensure that things are in place to help you feel welcome, included, and safe. More information about our plans will come soon.

Quote from Martin Camp (Chief Prick)
The response to Depravation Festival has blown me away. I feel honored to have the chance to build this event for our community and offer the true festival experience in an intimate setting at Thatado Farm next year. It’s amazing, scary, but most importantly, the biggest chance for us to amplify the spirit of independent music together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in underground music, ing the grassroots scene, and giving Dep Fest your attention. Let’s have a party in 2025!
Depravation Festival Open Air will be held at:
Thatado Farm, Swindon, SN6 6RQ
