Beat The Streets, the music festival originated by DHP Family to raise funds to help homeless people, will return on Sunday 25 January 2026.
The multi-venue festival in Nottingham has raised an impressive total of £554,155 for Framework – the charity working to end homelessness across the East Midlands – since its inception in 2018.
Joseph Patten, DHP Family, said: “Hitting a milestone like half a million pounds raised after our 2025 festival was a massive moment for everyone involved in Beat The Streets and we’re excited to get the ball rolling again now for 2026.
“We’ll have an exciting line-up of Nottingham’s greatest musicians coming soon, so watch this space and grab your ticket next week to show your support for Framework.”
Last year’s Beat The Streets fundraising went towards securing Nottingham’s Street Outreach Team. These vital frontline workers go out 365 days a year to provide lifesaving support to rough sleepers across the city helping them to find safe and suitable accommodation.
The funds raised in 2026 will go towards Framework’s Homeless to Home campaign to complete the development of 20 self-contained homes in Basford. When complete, Lee House will become home to some of the most vulnerable men in Nottingham along with round the clock support to help them move towards a better future.
Previously the money raised has enabled Framework to employ mental health workers to support rough sleepers with complex needs, enabled its emergency winter shelter to stay open all year and helped to open new accommodation for former rough sleepers.
Claire Eden, Framework’s head of fundraising, said: “Funds raised at Beat The Streets make a massive difference in helping Framework meet the challenges of homelessness, and particularly rough sleeping, in Nottingham.
“Income from Beat The Streets allows us to address the most urgent need at that time, supplementing the ongoing commitment of Nottingham City Council.
“Since 2018, Beat The Streets income has been used to employ extra staff, keep services open, and help fund the building of new accommodation, among many other things. Being able to count on this support is worth its weight in gold.
“We are so grateful for the continuing commitment of DHP to present this outstanding music and fundraising event, and to everyone who makes it happen – the staff at DHP, the musicians who give their services and everyone else who volunteers and, of course, the enthusiastic audiences.
“Roll on Sunday 25 January for another memorable and inspiring event.”
Beat The Streets has seen hundreds of artists from across the region take to the stages over the years including Jake Bugg, Sleaford Mods, Grace Petrie, Ferocious Dog, Do Nothing, Divorce, Bored Marsh, JayaHadaDream and GIRLBAND! to name just a few.
The festival will take place across stages at Rock City, Rescue Rooms, Stealth, The Bodega and Rough Trade.
Beat The Streets tickets giving access to all participating venues throughout the whole day are available for the recommended donation of £20. Additional donations can be made at the time of purchase.
