StalyFest closes on the following day with “a more traditional music festival” including an afternoon and evening of live music with “something to suit all tastes”. 

The line-up is currently being finalised, but StalyFest organisers are confident that the artists that have already been signed-up will ensure that the festival will be “the talk of Tame side” over the coming months. 

StalyFest is being organised by S1 Event Solutions Ltd who organise and promote the successful Made in Manchester festivals.   

Rob Brierley of S1 said: “We were so excited to be invited to work on this project to bring something fresh to Tameside. Being a local lad myself, I jumped at the opportunity and we very much hope that StalyFest 2025, will be the first of a series of annual festivals.” 

The Christie Charity has been named as charity partner for the event.  

Celtic’s finance and operations director Paul Bowden said: “Virtually everyone in the region will know someone who has relied on the amazing Christie Hospital at a time of need, so we are so excited to name The Christie Charity as our partner for our first festival. 

“We will be able to give the charity plenty of opportunities to share their profile alongside the StalyFest brand and raise all important funds at the same time.”
