Free festival will support Derby musicians and pubs this weekend

Nailed It Belper Music Festival is taking place in the Derbyshire town this Saturday with around 70 acts performing.

The event will be held across nine venues - each with different musicians - from 2pm to 11pm.

Popular Derby names including Death of the High Street, Paytron Saint, Jemma Johnson and The Mease will be performing at the festival.

Festival organiser Robert Newbold said: “It will be a great day out for music fans.

“The emphasis is on original music and there will be a range of genres: pop, rock, rap, folk, indie and so on.

“We like to think Nailed It is the best free music festival of the summer.”

Belper pubs such as The Lion, The Devonshire and Arkwright’s will be hosting music acts throughout the day.

A busking area will be included in the courtyard of The Corn Exchange with a range of musicians.

There will also be a relaxed after-show party at Thorn Tree Inn on Sunday with five more acts performing.

The festival gives people the opportunity to watch lots of local talent and eat at the great restaurants in the town.

You can choose a different venue every hour each with a new act playing - or pick a few venues with your favourite artists.

To discover the different types of music on offer at the festival, a playlist has been created with songs from the singers and bands.
