Splendour in Nottingham (more commonly known as SplendourorSplendour Festival) is an annual, mostly one-day music festival held in Nottingham, England since 2008. Organised by Nottingham City Council and DHP Family Ltd,[1] the event is held within Wollaton Park, to the west of Nottingham City Centre.[2] The first event was held in 2008 as a two-day event featuring artists Kate Nash, Paolo Nutini, Ocean Colour Scene and Rufus Wainwright.[3] In 2019 the capacity of the festival was 25,000.[4]

No concerts were held during the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021; for 2022 and 2023, Splendour returned as two-day events. In January 2024, it was announced that the 2024 event was cancelled.[5] A replacement event at Wollaton, entitled Live at the Hall and scheduled for 30 August 2024, was announced in February.[6]
