Flackstock, the popular UK charity music festival started in memory of Caroline Flack, has announced that 2026 will be a break year as the event’s team is gearing up for a grand comeback in 2027.
A small and sincere initiative at the start, the festival now not only happens annually but also has raised over £700, 000 for four different charities, all focusing on mental health, kindness and wellbeing. The festival has become a vibrant tribute to Caroline Flacks spirit, uniting music, mindfulness and community through the widely recognised #BeKind campaign.
After a flood of messages from fans eager to know the dates of this years event, the Flackstock team posted a message from Flackstock HQ, indicating that they have decided to take a break in 2026. A fallow year will give the organisers the opportunity to produce the most grand and thrilling Flackstock in 2027, including the announcement of a new venue, with more information coming soon.
Over time, Flackstock has been home to a great lineup of artists, increased its popular mindfulness and wellbeing areas, and collaborated with a variety of purpose, driven brands. The organisers say that a break is not a retreat but a strategic decision to make sure the festival continues to grow in size, influence and experience.
Flackstock has confirmed to its fans that 2026 will not be a silent year despite the absence of a main festival. A series of community, centric events and programmes are in the pipeline to maintain the interest of the audience, while the secret preparations for what is being termed the biggest and best party in a field are going on for 2027.
It is difficult to overstate the importance of mental health discussions and, in this light, Flackstock is still advocating the values of kindness, connection and compassion. The organisers believe that the time to back the festival, goers movement that they have helped to build has never been more appropriate.
Flackstock is still a profoundly personal homage, and the team has thanked the fans for their continuous support which enables Caroline Flacks legacy to be carried on through music, happiness and shared purpose.
More details about Flackstock 2027, incorporating the new location and upcoming events, are anticipated to be released in due time.
