Columbia Hike Society is inviting you to get lost in the music – quite literally.
Introducing HikeFest, a new festival of hiking, with a difference. The community is hosting an off-grid gig which requires hikers to climb deep into the Snowdonia mountains before reaching a natural amphitheatre where an intimate, acoustic gig will take place.
The experience will see two up-and-coming artists perform an open-air set out in the wild.
The event is hosted in partnership with Sofar Sounds. The hiking community and global music movement have joined forces in a bid to showcase the connection of music and the great outdoors.
Located in the wilderness, the location is a place where phone signal begins to falter. The event’s aim is to encourage attendees to put their phones down and connect with the music and the natural world around them.
