Too Damn Loud Fest
The Spiel
Too Damn Loud Festival is a celebration of music, love, supporting charities and one another in the music scene. We want to bring together bands and artists far and wide across a range of genres to truly appreciate how amazing creativity is. Sheffield has always been a city of music and with TDL fest it’s our aim to spread love and encourage people to let loose and enjoy themselves. In march 2023, the world lost one of the biggest music lovers, Chris Wright, who many of us knew as ‘Big Chris’. Himself and his band mate put together a festival called ‘plug in for Parkinson’s’ in 2022 and with TDL Fest we want to continue the legacy they started and honour big Chris in a way that is only natural; through music.
