The team from Eel Pie Records have hit the £12,000 fundraising target to ensure the High Tide Festival can go ahead.

The one-day event on July 30 will be bigger than ever with music across 20 stages including - for the first time -one on Twickenham Green.

The festival is delivered thanks to a collaboration between Eel Pie Records, Discover Twickenham BID, Richmond Council, The Friends of Twickenham Green and many local businesses.

It relies on donations from individuals across the borough with fans describing at 'the best thing to hit Twickenham for generations'.

It attracts thousands of visitors from across London and has been steadily growing in scale since its creation in 2019 – only interrupted by the pandemic lock-down.

The one-day event on July 30 will be bigger than ever with music across 20 stages including - for the first time -one on Twickenham Green.

The event is entirely free to attend and aims to seek out and showcase a diverse selection of the best young and established bands and musicians across 20 stages.

This year's main stage will feature the likes of the indie rock band, The Mystery Jets, who were formerly based on Eel Pie Island, as well as Afro-Caribbean Pop & R&B from Sabrina Francis, and VC Pines, who is also known as Jack Mercer, the smart, articulate alt-soul singer-songwriter.

Visitors can also enjoy Cherym, who serve up a zingy, fearless new recipe for pop rock, and Living Body, a Leeds-based vocal-harmonising hook-laden indie/pop/rock collective.
