The beloved tribute festival Flackstock is back and bigger than ever, with a star-studded line-up featuring Mel C, Pixie Lott, Alfie Boe and more coming together to honour the memory of Caroline Flack this summer.
Now in its third year, the festival has become a powerful tribute to the late Love Island host, who tragically passed away in 2020. Created by Caroline’s friends and family, Flackstock blends music, performance, and mental health awareness into one meaningful event.

This year, the festival moves to a new home: the iconic Crystal Palace Bowl in London, as part of the South Facing Festival. The one-day celebration will take place on August 8 and promises to be a family-friendly, feel-good occasion.
Leading the charge is Spice Girls star Mel C, who will be closing the festival with a crowd-pleasing DJ set. Earlier in the day, powerhouse vocalist Alfie Boe and pop favourite Pixie Lott will take to the stage, delivering live performances to remember.

Joining them are Boyzlife, the supergroup comprising ex-Boyzone and Westlife members, who will make their Flackstock debut. Adding more pop sparkle are S Club 7’s Jo O’Meara and Jon Lee, while former Love Island contestant-turned-musician Wes Nelson is also confirmed to perform.

The event continues to raise vital funds for mental health charities, including Mind, Samaritans, and Choose Love. Organisers say they hope the festival brings people together not only to celebrate Caroline’s vibrant life but also to open up important conversations around mental wellbeing.
Tickets are on sale now, and demand is expected to be high for what’s become one of the UK’s most heartfelt music events. Flackstock is not only a celebration of Caroline’s spirit but also a vital platform for hope, connection, and change.
