Info
-
What began just three years ago as a 21st birthday party for 300 friends has grown into a full-scale, 5,000-capacity festival - still built and run by the same group of friends who care deeply about music, connection and community.
GemFest is an independent grassroots music festival, created by PullUp Recordings - Wales’ largest dance music label - and celebrates the full spectrum of underground music: house, UKG, jungle, drum & bass, techno and beyond. Every detail is crafted by a small, passionate team who truly live and breathe the festival.
