Undercover Festival, a genuine, small, proudly independent musical celebration of alternative music including punk, post punk, Ska, acoustic and much more.
Yes small festivals are two a penny “BUT you won’t find anything like Undercover especially in the South East”
Since we started loads of others have cropped up but we believe no one can match the family friendly and independent feel we have at Undercover.
Even since 2013 we have kept a proud and independent identity.
We were going to call it a day after UCF 8 but a team came together and ran a sucessful Crowdfunding Campaign and Undercover 9 can now go ahead such is that which Undercover is all about.
Due to the success of the Crowdfunder Campaign, and the new venue being smaller than before the amount of tickets available for general sale will be limited so you are advised to get in quick to avoid disappointment.

Because we are always Undercover the bar takings are never ours so Undercover survives or we aim to predominantly on ticket sales.
Undercover Festival has had a nomadic existence since we first started in Bisley Surrey in 2013 for 3 years, then via Brighton for a year, Margate was for a couple of years, then 2019 we upped sticks to Tufnell Park London and for September 2019 we moved to The Fiery Bird Venue Woking the general area we started in, and March 2020 we moved back to Woking, but as the venue is closing we have found a new venue Suburbs The Holroyd in Guildford.
Undercover defies all other conventions and festival templates by always being held undercover i.e. not outdoors so if it’s peeing down come April it’s not a problem and your beer won’t get diluted. Leave your wellies at home, and enjoy one of the best small alternative festivals London and the South East has to offer.
The festival is one that prides itself on taking an independent and grassroots approach to things, and is always determined to be different from mainstream events, with alternative action from bands you’d be highly unlikely to see on many other festival line-ups.
Being a small independent grassroots festival is tough because media attention is always on the big boys, but we believe we have struck a chord with people who like their music raw and full of the passion and energy that only acts like ours generate.
The festival grew out of a small tent tucked in the back corner of the sadly departed GuilFest in Surrey and has become a firm fixture in many people’s diaries, with dedicated fans coming back year on year.
In a financial climate where it always seems to be about the money, Undercover throws convention to the wind and just goes with what it believes in.
