The Voice Festival UK heading back to Birmingham!

This year’s Festival Weekend will see us returning to the Midlands on Friday 13th – Saturday 14th April 2018, making our home for the weekend the University of Birmingham. We had  an absolute blast back in 2015, and we can’t wait to return.

As well as our annual championships for our Youth, Community and University strands, attendees of the weekend can expect a vast range of workshops, forums, discussions, performances and of course chances to socialise with groups and a cappella fans alike. Whether you’re a part of a group, rooting on your favourites to win, wanting to try out something new, or looking to perfect any number of skills – from performance, beatboxing, choreography – we’ll be there to welcome you into the a cappella fun with open arms!
