Undercover Festival(s) and Events back with a bang!!
We have had Covid, We have had a recession, We had fuel shortages, and so many more obstacles in difficult times BUT while others headed for the hills we kept it going and continue to do so!
Yes small festivals and events are two a penny “BUT you won’t find anything like Undercover especially in the South East”
Undercover for the very best live alternative music inc Punk, Ska, Reggae, Ska Punk, Post Punk, Psychobilly and so much more.
“Undercover” because of the music and “Undercover” well because it is.
After three successful festivals at this cracking venue and unless we say otherwise this is where all future Undercover Festivals and Events will be held:
Suburbs The Holroyd,
Aldershot Road,
Guildford,
Surrey, GU2 8AF
The next Undercover Festival will be
4th, 5th, 6th April 2024
BUT we have a mouth watering smorgasbord of alternative music before and after then!
Other Undercover events are planned for the rest of 2023 and 2024, see Gigantic Tickets for details

How Do I Get Tickets?
Please see our page on Gigantic where you can buy tickets from us online, or you can get tickets in person at FACE VALUE at any Undercover Event or in person from Sounds of The Suburbs Record Store Ruislip.
If there are any tickets available on the door these will be a lot more expensive than in advance.

Like any other festival or gig we cannot refund unwanted tickets, sorry.
Like other promoters except if an event is cancelled we are not able to offer refunds.
