Undercover Festival to come to Wickford later this year


Undercover Festival, which has toured locations across the south for more than a decade, will take place at The Showground, Battlesbridge Antiques Centre, on September 26 and 27.

The festival promises a “hipster-free zone” with a packed line-up of alternative, punk, ska, and post-punk bands.

Mick, the festival organiser, said: “At Undercover many arrive as strangers and leave as friends – it’s easy to say but it’s true, such is the unique and friendly atmosphere you get at an Undercover Festival.

“We believe we have most bases covered; with the recent changes the line-up is now complete.”

The festival will feature a wide range of bands including Skids, Subhumans, Popes of Chillitown, and Eddie & The Hot Rods.

Richard Jobson of Skids said: “Can’t wait to be part of the Undercover Festival.

“Heard great things about it. The Skids will unleash a new set as we start to prepare for the Absolute Game tour.

“We’re ready. Are you?”

Popes of Chillitown’s Arvin added: “We’re really looking forward to playing Undercover Festival in Essex this year.

“The line-up is pure vibes, and we’re pleased to finally be a part of it.”

There will also be a strong line-up of supporting acts, many hailing from Essex, including Destroy The Idols, Monumental, and Dharma Hounds.

Tickets, priced at £79, include camping, showers, parking, and access to attractions such as a museum, record shops, and vintage sellers.

Day tickets are also available but are expected to sell out soon.

Tickets can be purchased online from Gigantic or in-person at Undercover gigs, Intense Records in Chelmsford, Sounds of the Suburbs Records in Ruislip, and Dirt in Norwich.

The festival comes as Undercover Festival hits the road after a run at Guildford’s The Suburbs at the Holroyd.

The venue will still be home to Undercover’s regular gigs, with at least 20 booked for 2025 and more for 2026.
