Evolution of Askern Music Festival to Donnyfest: A New Chapter

Evolution

As we reflect back on the days of Askern Music Festival, the memories flood back like a sweet melody from the past. Those early years of grassroots music, local talent, and community spirit will always hold a special place in our hearts. Askern was our home, our starting point, our foundation.

But just like the music that evolves, grows, and transforms, so did we. We outgrew the intimate setting of Askern, yearning for something bigger, something grander. It was a bittersweet decision, one filled with nostalgia and excitement, as we made the transition to Doncaster and birthed Donnyfest.

As we, the team at Donnyfest, stand on the cusp of announcing the full line up for Donnyfest 2025, we cannot help but feel a sense of pride and anticipation. Next year’s event promises to be the biggest one we have ever hosted. The lineup is nothing short of spectacular, with the promise of the biggest artists gracing the stage, including our incredible headliner.

To the people of Askern who supported us from the very beginning, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your unwavering support, love, and enthusiasm fueled our journey and made it all possible. We hope you will continue to support us as we embark on this new chapter in Doncaster.

Donnyfest 2025 is set to take place at the illustrious Eco Power Stadium, home of Doncaster Rovers, on the 7th of June, 2025. The main stage will be positioned on the pitch, surrounded by the energy and passion of the music-loving crowd. The acoustic tent will be set outside the stadium, alongside the delectable food vendors and exhilarating fairground rides.

Our vision for Donnyfest 2025 goes beyond just music—it is about creating an event that the people of Doncaster can truly be proud of. It is about celebrating community, culture, and creativity in a way that unites us all in the universal language of music.

As we look ahead to the future, we invite you to join us on this remarkable journey. Let us make Donnyfest 2025 a moment to remember, a celebration of music, unity, and the spirit of togetherness. Let the melodies of our past guide us into the harmonious sounds of our future.

See you at Donnyfest! Just a reminder, AMF 2024 tickets are valid for Donnyfest 2025.
