Crosstown Traffic 2026

CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC IS BACK!

The live music scene in Cheltenham is growing, both in the number of venues available and in the number of quality artists breaking through. It's something that should be celebrated, so that's what we're going to do. 

Over the course of one weekend, we're going to shine the spotlight on our venues and our artists, showing off the best of the Cheltenham alternative scene (#SHIREGROWN).

It might be your first time in some of these venues, it might be your 50th. It might be your first time seeing some of these artists. It might be your 50th. But whether you've been around the scene for a while or are experiencing it for the first time, this weekend is for you.
