Marking 10 Years of MADE Festival: A decade in 18 partying fun images from Birmingham's beloved event

As the vibrant heart of Birmingham prepares to pulse with the rhythm of celebration, MADE Festival marks its 10th anniversary with a spectacular line-up and a nostalgic look back at a decade of unforgettable moments.

Since its start in 2014, MADE Festival (Metropolitan Arts Dance Event) has grown into the West Midlands’ most cherished music and arts festival, consistently drawing crowds and showcasing a diverse array of talent.

MADE Festival was born out of a desire to fill a gap in Birmingham’s festival scene. The festival aimed to create a platform that celebrated the city’s rich cultural tapestry, bringing together music, art, and food in a unique urban setting. The inaugural event in 2014 set the stage for what would become a staple in Birmingham’s cultural calendar.

Over the past ten years, MADE Festival has evolved and expanded, overcoming challenges such as venue changes and the global pandemic.

Despite these hurdles, the festival has remained true to its roots, consistently delivering an eclectic mix of genres and performances. From drum & bass to UK rap, garage, house, and disco, MADE has something for every music lover.

This year’s festival promises to be the biggest and best yet, with a lineup that includes artists like Bru-C, Dizzee Rascal, and Bou.

The Digbeth Triangle will be transformed into a multi-venue site, featuring ten stages and a variety of performances from both national and local talent. Attendees can also look forward to a street food village curated by Digbeth Dining Club and live graffiti art, adding to the festival’s unique atmosphere.

Join the celebration on August 3rd at the Digbeth Triangle and be part of the history of MADE Festival. For more information and tickets, visit the official MADE Festival website.
