BIG BANG VIII (GENERAL ADMISSION)
Ogri MCC Clubhouse, Kemble Airfield, Gloucestershire.
Fresh from the first-ever sold-out Big Bang event in 2025, we’re hugely excited to announce that the Big Bang VIII will be back for 2026! Taking place on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July at Ogri MCC Clubhouse in Cirencester.
Get ready for an epic weekend of camping, community, live music, bonfires, DJs and more. Everyone is welcome to this epic party hosted by OGRI MCC and organized by the legendary Mark Manby.
There’s ample space for setting tents, caravans, and even yurts, and no need to hurry home – stay up late and connect with fellow members of the Primordial community around the bonfire on a summer’s eve.
A limited amount of earlybird tickets are on sale now (At 2025 Prices), and bands will be announced in the near future.
Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult. We cannot issue refunds to under 14s who are not accompanied by an adult.
