24th October 2025

Noice In The Valley is back! For the latest shindig, the guys at ‘Noise In Promotions’ have wielded their ferocious might once more and come up with an action-packed line-up guaranteed to knock several buttons off your brains. In a good way.

The event is run over three days, 7th to 9th November. The vast majority of the 23 artists are playing on Saturday 8th across four venues in Sowerby Bridge – Fire & Water, The Puzzle, The Blind Pig and Hollins Mill – with a launch show on the 7th and recovery club on the 9th book-ending proceedings, both at Dukes in Halifax.

The event is organised by Ben Warrington and John Simmons-Powell who aim to celebrate grassroots music venues and young, upcoming artists. The idea was born from a DIY spirit and a shared love of loud, fuzzy, riff-based bands. That said, the latest line-up also boasts its fair share of indie, pop and contemporary folk.

A compilation album is also in the works, featuring artists performing at the festival.

You’ll find all the artists playing Noise In The Valley listed below. We urge you to pay particular attention to alt-rock titans Atlas, ear-jerkers [slab], alt-grunge songstress Eva Kiss, hunk rockers Moose Knuckle, sumptuous folkster Henry Parker and the wonderfully named Oliver Is Going To Die Soon.
