The festival will stage its second gathering on 18-20 August in the Buckinghamshire countryside.

Stowaway Festival will return this summer for a sophomore edition featuring Manuka Honey, Todd Edwards and Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy. These artists – along with Nabihah Iqbal, Ishmael Ensemble, Little Dragon, Jamz Supernova, Alabaster DePlume and many more – will head to Stowe for a three-day event that combine a music programme with comedy, theatre, wellbeing workshops and activities for children.

Last year’s edition of Stowaway was the festival’s first under its new name – and with a renewed ethos. Prior to this, the event – launched in 2017 – was called the Festival of Beer. “We relaunched as Stowaway last year because we wanted to take it back to the essence of what a festival should be about; joy, freedom and good vibes,” explained founder Duncan Wheeler in a statement. “Dancing to great music while forgetting the outside world for a few days. Stowaway is a festival made by festival goers, for festival-goers.”
