Our festival headliner will always be Pippa 💖
Pippa would be so touched so many artists she personally worked with are now performing at her festival, singing next to her name in lights 🥹🫶🏻 especially @edbledbl who as part of his set, played a song he wrote with Pippa - featuring her own top line vocals, which you can hear here🎤✨
As a gifted singer songwriter she was the strongest supporter of independent artists and her festival is bringing together the most incredible talent 🥹🫶🏻🫶🏾 her beautiful voice, unique creativity and passion for grassroots sounds will never be forgotten 🤍🕊️

Pippa was a gifted singer and songwriter. She was only 19 when she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour and at the time was one month into studying music at the prestigious Goldsmiths University alongside peers like Olivia Dean ❤️🩹
Sadly due to her health Pippa’s musical career was significantly interrupted. Yet despite immense challenges, she restarted and completed her degree at Leeds Conservatoire receiving their Outstanding Achievement award, played at local festivals, the Yorkshire Tour de France opening, plus recorded and produced some of her own music. Tragically, we will never know what more Pippa could have achieved creatively, nor what dreams she might have pursued 🎤🎶🎧
It was Pippa’s idea to create a ‘PippaFest’, supporting original artists with all proceeds going straight to charity - a testament to her strength, kindness and creativity. Please buy a ticket and support @teenage_cancer , the only national charity solely dedicated to helping young people deal with such devastating diagnoses 🎫❤️🤍💙

We are bowled over to announce that PippaFest ’26 raised £19,332 for the Teenage Cancer Trust - which means we have now raised ✨£85,000✨ in Pippa’s memory for the charity 💖
As Pippa’s family, it is hard to put into words what this means 🙏🏻 creating something so positive out of the worst thing that could ever happen to any family makes us burst with pride 🥹
Together we are delivering Pippa’s vision for her ‘living legacy’ - keeping her beautiful spirit alive and helping fund the wonderful team of specialist nurses who never left her side during the darkest moments of our lives 💙🤍❤️
Thank you to everyone who drank our craft beers and ate their way around our different stalls, laughed at our games and bought merch to take home - every pound has truly made a difference 🥂🫶🏻💸 swipe to read a letter of thanks from @teenage_cancer ❤️🩹
