The 11th year of Mayors Fest, celebrating its 10th anniversary, will return to Wolverhampton in the West Midlands from 10 April to 12 April 2026 to raise money for local causes. The main charity rock music event is set to take place on Saturday, 11 April 2026, at KK’s Steel Mill.
The weekend is presented by the Office of the Mayor of Wolverhampton and features a lineup of rock and alternative music performances. Councillor Craig Collingswood, who is the 166th Mayor of the city, is hosting the festival during his 2025-2026 year in office.
The festival serves as a major fundraising event for the Mayor of Wolverhampton’s Charitable Fund. Money collected during the event will support several local organisations, including SSAFA, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity, Compton Care, and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
This year’s music lineup includes the band South of Salem, following the festival’s history of showcasing established rock and alternative acts. Tickets for the anniversary celebration are now available to purchase online for residents who want to support these community efforts.
