What is Exeter Beats?

This year the Exeter Food Festival has re-invented its evening programme with the launch of Exeter Beats.

The all-new Exeter Beats is a three-night music festival running from Friday, May 4 , offering live music, hot street food, regional drinks and an undercover area.

Headliners include Mad Dog Mcrea (Fri 4th), One Step Behind (Madness tribute, Sat 5) and David Live (David Bowie tribute, Sun 6).

Cllr Rachel Sutton, Visit Exeter said: “The food festival is a key annual event for the city drawing both locals and many visitors to the area. We are delighted to support the launch of Exeter Beats which we anticipate will be hugely popular.”

Exeter Beats will have a large undercover area to keep the party going and the crowds dry in the event of wet weather. The event is supported by Visit Exeter and sponsored by Otter Brewery and Radio Exe.

Patrick McCaig, Otter Brewery said: “We’ve long been involved with the festival and are excited to be supporting the first Exeter Beats.”
