FESTIVAL CREDENTIALS Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Each year Greenbelt strives to deliver a festival rich in diversity. Since its inception 51 years ago, its ethos has always been to create a space that is inclusive and representative. Great artistry, courageous activism and open-hearted belief has always been at the heart of the festival's programming. A true trailblazer amongst UK's festivals, Greenbelt believes in creating a diverse, intentional, all-inclusive line-up. The first Greenbelt took place in 1974 on a Suffolk farm with the words 'If you've got a field, you've got a festival'. The Sun Newspaper reviewed the first one as 'The Nice People's Pop Festival', but it was more subversive than it appeared. Over the years Greenbelt has welcomed headline acts such as Pussy Riot, Sinead O'Connor, Kae Tempest, Estelle, Laura Mvula, Magic Numbers, Ezra Furman, and Mavis Staples to name but a few! It has seen early performances by future global artists such as Ed Sheeren, Corinne Bailey Rae, as well as the mighty U2 who played Greenbelt in 1981 when they had only released their first album.
