About
Bradford is one of Europe’s youngest cities—and the 29% Festival celebrates that energy with a bold programme of live performance, music, dance, art, and workshops. Curated by a Youth Board and featuring up to 100 commissioned young artists, the festival showcases theatre, comedy, drag, photography, film, and more, all created by Bradford’s next generation.
Expect vibrant creativity, powerful storytelling, and a celebration of youth-led culture at the heart of the city.
