AEG Presents have announced a new one-day post-punk festival, taking place at the massive National Bowl in Milton Keynes.
Entitled Forever Now, the event launches on June 22, 2025 and will be the UK sister fest to California’s Cruel World. It promises to be a “true celebration of current alternative culture” according to a press release, and is also described as a “unique gathering for fans of post-punk music, fashion and literature”.
“We are delighted to present a festival that reflects the rich heritage of artists in the alternative music field,” says AEG Presents CEO Steve Homer. “The day will feature some amazing artists, unique sets, and collaborations not seen on a UK stage before. As the birthplace of alt. counterculture, the UK is the perfect home for a festival to pay homage to alternative creative artistry.”
