5 Hills Out

Things are starting to shape up for gigs now, hopefully we are playing near you soon, so get along if you can and say hello, we are nothing without you guys x

Over the past few days, our latest song Lockout from the Narrowboat Sessions has exploded across Facebook — from just 2,500 views on Monday night to over 450,000 by Wednesday evening and 1.5m by Friday! The response has been incredible. We are so pleased with new people discovering 5 Hills Out every hour. This clip captures the energy and connection we’ve been building at festivals across the UK — and it’s amazing to see that same spirit resonate online.🎥 Watch the video below and join the wave:

We are so excited to announce we’re playing at Y Not Festival this summer. It’s officially SOLD OUT! We thank you all for helping us get back in the Peaks where we are from, it is going to be special. We will see those that have tickets in the Hog & Barrel on Friday 31st July

We’re buzzing to announce that 5 Hills Out will be playing at the Derby Food Festival on 9th May. It’s one of the region’s biggest community events, packed with incredible food, local makers, and a whole day of live music — and we’re chuffed to be part of it. Seems too long since we played live but that doesn’t mean we’ve not been working hard on some new material! Check out the gigs page for more details.

3 Seasons of Festivals Incoming!

We’ve got a brilliant run of festivals lined up this year, and each one brings something a little different to the 5 Hills Out journey. Here’s what’s coming up…

StourJam – 6th June 2026

A brand-new one for us, and we’re really looking forward to it. StourJam has a great reputation for championing local music, and we’re excited to bring our sound to the Rock Tavern for the first time. A relaxed, friendly event — and free entry — so it should be a lovely way to kick off the summer.

Off The Tracks – 5th September 2026

This one feels special. Off The Tracks has been on our radar for years, and finally getting the chance to play it is a proper milestone. It’s a festival with a loyal following, a cracking atmosphere, and the kind of crowd that really listens. We’ve been trying to get on this bill for a long time, so announcing it at last is a real buzz.

Derby Folk Festival – 9th October 2026

A huge moment for us — and a home-town one at that. Derby Folk Festival is one of the biggest folk events in the region, and being invited to perform there means a lot. We’re especially excited to bring a few Derby-inspired songs to the set. Playing them in the city that shaped them is going to be something special.

We have been blown away by the reviews we’ve been getting for our new album: “I think it’s hard to pick a favourite track, the true magic of this album comes when you listen to it as a complete experience.” Link

“The album 'Dystopia Bazaar' is a celebration of honest punk rock infused with a distinct folk twist…5 Hills Out successfully innovates while honoring their folk heritage, keeping the punk spirit alive” Link

“The album embodies the band's signature blend of punk energy and folk storytelling against the struggles of life and sociopolitical issues.” Link

“A Punk-Fueled, Genre-Bending Journey of Raw Emotions and Inventive Energy in “Dystopia Bazaar” Link
