No Art Open Air will stage its biggest UK edition yet south of Manchester at Bolesworth Castle on Saturday 30th May 2026, launching with an expanded festival format.
The venue introduces a two-stage setup for the first time at a No Art open-air event outside the Netherlands, transforming the edition into a full festival experience on 6,000 acre grounds of the beautiful castle.
Located roughly an hour south of Manchester, Bolesworth Castle provides a spectacular backdrop and stunning open-air setting with expanded space for production, art installations and extended music programming. The rural location also allows for a higher-quality listening experience across the site.
The main stage will feature a selection of artists closely connected to the No Art sound alongside major international names. Early confirmations include of course event founders ANOTR, alongside MARCO CAROLA, MAX DEAN and No Art regulars TOMAN, BENJA and SILVIE LOTO. A second stage will host a programme of house and underground electronic artists including ARAPU, CHAOS IN THE CBD, PRIKU, US TWO, NTS tastemaker MOXIE, and more.
Bolesworth Castle is an incredible setting and the scale of the site allows ANOTR and the No Art team to really expand the concept. We’re bringing in a cutting edge sound system to deliver the best listening experience that the music deserves, alongside ambitious production, art installations and a two-stage festival format – Oliver Hackett , Marketing Director
