Summer Sundae Weekender is a festival of 7,000 people set in Leicester’s De Montfort Hall and Gardens from 17th - 19th August 2012.

The event is often lauded for managing to keep the intimate, relaxed feel which launched its success. Having played host to Patti Smith, David Byrne, Amy Winehouse, Elbow, Belle and Sebastian, Mumford and Sons and Seasick Steve among countless others, Summer Sundae is also praised for having an eclectic line-up.


Held in the centre of Leicester, Summer Sundae is unique in bringing a green-field festival experience to an easily accessible urban location.
