GloFest in back for 2026!!

An evening festival event of live music, dj sets and concluding with GloFest's now legendary epic laser filled closing DJ set from James Ussher. Once again we have some of the top acts that the legendary Oxford local music scene has to offer ...

Mount St. Helen (headliners) - Oxford's most electrifying live act, Mount St. Helen brings the kind of volcanic energy that only a true headline slot can contain. Known for their explosive blend of indie rock and anthemic songwriting, they've already built a fiercely loyal following.

Mary's Garden - Oxford's finest indie goth rock band known for a sound that blends inward-looking, delicate moments with expansive musical arrangements. Fronted by vocalist Laima Bite, the band is noted for creating a "fair old fat sound" that is original and amazing to catch live.

The horMones - All-female punk band based in Oxford, consisting of nine members aged between 50 and 79. Formed in March 2023, none of the members had previously played instruments or sang before starting the band. Inspired by punk icons like The Ramones and Sex Pistols, they are truly riding roughshod over stereotypes about older women in music.

The Shotovers - An upcoming pop-rock band known for blending rich harmonies and jangly guitars with heavy riffs and funky grooves. The band has made a significant impact on the local scene, recently selling out a headline show at The Bullingdon in December 2025. Their electrifying live performances feature original, anthemic melodies that capture audiences with colourful harmonies and heavy, danceable grooves.

DJ Kwassa Kwassa will keep the groove and beats rolling between live sets.
