5 Hills Out

Deepdale Festival Last weekend we had the pleasure of playing Deepdale Festival, and we'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along, sang along, bought merch and made us feel so welcome. Deepdale really is a special festival. Great music, great people and a fantastic venue, all brought together by a brilliant team of organisers. We had an amazing time and hope we'll be back again in the future.

Oxjam Next up, we're at Oxjam this Saturday, so bring your charity to Beeston for some great causes.

Derby Folk Festival This gig feels like a real landmark for us. As a Derbyshire band, we're incredibly proud to be part of such a respected festival and can't wait to take the stage and share a bit more about the songs of our home county and city!

Gig in a Field 9 And finally, some exciting news for next year. We're delighted to announce that we've been booked to play Gig in a Field 9. It's a festival with a fantastic reputation for community, friendship and brilliant live music, and we're looking forward to being part of it.

See you down the front!

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.
