Pintstock is a one-day music festival in Sheffield serving top-tier craft beer with the best emerging indie talent – because great music deserves great beer.

Taking place across Trafalgar Warehouse and Corporation on Saturday 13 June, the festival brings together a carefully curated lineup of rising indie bands and a selection of high-quality craft beer from respected breweries. No compromise. No gimmicks.

Too many music festivals serve bad beer, and too many beer festivals book forgettable music. Pintstock was created to do both properly.

Led by one of Sheffield’s best-known names in the local beer scene, Joe Rugg, better known in the city as Pints Of Sheffield, alongside the team behind Corporation and Trafalgar Warehouse, Pintstock brings together some of the city’s most experienced event organisers and hospitality figures. Joe is widely recognised for championing Sheffield’s independent pub community through his hugely popular Instagram platform, as well as organising four successful years of Abbeydale Road Beer Festival.

The lineup champions a strong roster of emerging indie artists from Sheffield and beyond, many at the very start of their journey. This is the kind of event people will swear they were at years from now. The lineup includes Leazes, Femur, Sons of the City, Flok, The Bad Actors, Jessops, The Tivolis and Mat Hook, with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

With sounds inspired by the golden era of 00s and early 10s indie, fans of The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, The Courteeners, and Two Door Cinema Club will feel right at home.

Craft beer from some of the country’s top breweries will be flowing all day inside Trafalgar Warehouse, such as Deya, Polly’s, Cloudwater, Triple Point, Kernel, Track, Vault City, Left Handed Giant and more to be announced in the coming weeks. They’ll be found alongside independent local traders, such as Barks Wines, Cheese Riot, Reyt Good Illustrations, and food trucks including Taco Trailer in the courtyard between venues.
Live bands will take over multiple stages at Corporation, creating a compact, high-energy festival space right in the heart of the city and as night falls, the party moves back to Trafalgar Warehouse for a DJ-led afterparty from midnight.

The inaugural Pintstock will be one to remember.
