Across three action-packed days (four if you were lucky enough to get a VIP ticket), you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the legendary feel-good atmosphere of the ABR Festival, where strangers become friends and lifelong memories are made.
Whether you’ve got your tickets already or you’re thinking of joining us (best be quick, as tickets will sell out soon—get yours today here), below you’ll find a full rundown of everything that’s going on at the ABR Festival this year. While every effort will be taken to keep these timings as they are below, they may be subject to change in the run-up to the festival.
