The REVVV IT UP Festival set to return to County Derry this July
Thousands are expected at this year's event which is set to benefit local charities including R.N.I.B and Pulmonary Fibrosis NI
Excitement is mounting for the forthcoming REVVV IT UP two-day festival taking place on July 29 and 20.
It’s promising to be the event of the year with tickets already selling fast and entries to events at capacity.
The festival is located in the heart of the Sperrin Mountains, a short distance outside Dungiven on the Ballyguddin Road.
The REVVV IT UP Festival is the brainchild of successful local businessman Stephen Kealey whose company the BRM Group has business interests throughout the UK.
“We launched this corporate event last year as just a day of ‘Tractor Pulling and Community fun’ to raise money for charity and the popularity took us completely by surprise,” Stephen said.
Whilst a popular feature with the farming community it’s planned that this year’s event will open it up to a much wider audience and it’ll become obvious why it enjoys such a massive following in so many other countries including Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, America and others.
When asked what those attending can expect this year it’s clear that, whilst Tractor Pulling is still a major feature, this is an event for the whole family as there’ll be Tug of War, a giant kite display, kid’s park, vintage car display, lawnmower racing, fireworks and a main marquee with two full days of live music from the best local artists. The latter will feature 16 different music slots with music in all the popular genres including The Untouchables, Soulmates, Hitmen and Her, Alistair Spence, Cellar Door Band, Liam and Tasha, DMK Music and local special guest Joe Moore.
Of particular interest to the younger set is a Saturday lunchtime kids’ disco followed by a Taylor Swift Tribute act and there are whispers that there’ll be a dinosaur in the vicinity that day.
Stephen Kealey, Managing Director of the BRM Group, continued: “Revvv It Up has become more than just an event, it’s an action packed fun family festival weekend. This year we’re going full festival mode, with live entertainment, incredible food, and of course, the unmatched energy of Northern Ireland’s largest tractor pull. Whether you're there for the horsepower or the headline acts, it will be an event to remember for years to come.”
Thousands are expected at this year's event, with more attractions, partners and surprises than ever before. If you love big machines, big music and big energy — Revvv It Up is your festival. The music marquee is fully licensed and there’ll be a variety of food offerings throughout the site. From roaring engines to rock anthems, Revvv It Up ‘25 fuses adrenaline and atmosphere in a weekend celebration of horsepower, heritage and high-energy fun. Again, the BRM Groups aim is to raise funds for local charities including R.N.I.B and Pulmonary Fibrosis NI.
Tickets are available via BRM Restoration (pay at the gate also available).
