The Festival Journey
MattsBBQ had humble beginnings as a backyard BBQ celebration in honor of Matt's birthday back in 2006, attended by approximately 30 close friends. As the years passed, this birthday bash quickly gained popularity, and the guest list grew beyond what Matt's mum's house could accommodate. In 2012, after six years of house parties, it was time for MattsBBQ to find a new venue.
What started as a small gathering soon evolved into a must-attend summer event for the local community, and its popularity continued to soar. The excitement for #MattsBBQ spread like wildfire across the UK, leading to events hosted at various football clubs and cricket grounds, attracting over 1000 enthusiastic attendees.
Just a few years later, MattsBBQ made its debut at a dedicated festival site with a capacity of 3000 people. Since then, this beloved event has taken the scene by storm, drawing the attention and participation of talented artists and DJs from the UK and around the world. With each show, the number of attendees has surged, reaching an impressive 7000 per event
