Thanks for buying a ticket. Your ticket will have been sent to you by See Tickets. Have a read here about how to use it to get your wristband! You can collect your wristband from midday at The Union on each day of the festival.

The wristband exchange is at The Union (M15 6AD) and is open from midday each day of the festival. .

We will be launching MPF2026 merch at the festival. If you missed out on MPF2025, we still have some stock available here.

We cannot offer refunds unless the event is cancelled. However, See Tickets provide a face-value fan-to-fan resale environment. Head to See Tickets here.

Nope. Weekend Tickets only, we deliberately keep the price as low as possible so it’s still value for money if you can’t make the whole weekend. Buy a weekend ticket here.

All age restrictions are available on the venues section of our Info page. These age restrictions are set by the venues themselves and we cannot alter them for the weekend.

All the venues are wheelchair accessible except for the Salutation. To read more please head to the accessibility section of our Info page and read this article.

Please email bev(at)tnsrecords.co.uk to apply.

We are inundated with requests to play MPF which, although flattering, means we can’t reply to everybody. We all run this festival in our spare time so feel free to drop a message, but please don’t be offended if we don’t get back to you. The roster of bands we work with is built from the ground up. If your band is active, gigging, and contributing to, the UK DIY punk rock community then we’ll know of you sooner or later!

We work with loads of great designers each year. Here is who we’ve worked with for MPF2026.

Poster, logo and website design – Millie Rose Kelly
Website – Kaluna
