Seven years in, Secret Island is still about the same thing. Great music, good people and a proper party on Mersea Island.
Across two days you'll find house, disco, drum & bass, live music and everything in between. Big names play alongside local artists, with a crowd that somehow brings different ages, backgrounds and walks of life together.
But the thing people remember about Secret Island isn't just who they saw play.
It's how it feels to be there.
People talk to each other. Look out for each other. Dance together. You can turn up exactly as you are and just get on with having a really good time. Maybe that's why so many people come back year after year.
Here for the Music. Here for each other.
Each stage has its own personality, from sunlit afternoons on the field to late-night sessions by the water.
Friday – Secret Island sessions, A friendly, feel-good escape for all ages and a chance to get a flavour of the festival with a laid-back, inclusive atmosphere for every generation, providing big festival energy with a personal festival feel.
Saturday – The main event in full swing (over 18’s only).Dive into headline sets, big-room house, high-energy D&B, and eclectic live acts across all four stages.High energy from start to finish, with space to dance, explore, and soak in the full festival atmosphere.
Both days come complete with stunning sunsets, open space to explore, and an inclusive, community-driven crowd,
Secret Island is big festival energy with a personal touch.
