ℹ️ ABOUT
Anyone that has seen the 'Mad Mods' live will tell you that they are no traditional covers band. Their energetic performances have built them a massive following and they have a reputation of packing every venue they play at, and then bringing the house down!

Their repertoire includes hits from The Who, Small Faces, The Kinks, Rolling Stones, Spencer Davis, Yardbirds, The Jam and many more, and yes, they've even been known to smash the odd guitar up on stage!
The band will be playing 2 sets with no support on the night, doors open at 7:30pm with the band hitting the stage around 8.30pm.

“These guys are as good a feel-good band as you’ll experience. Just make sure you do experience them”
Chris Hawkins - BBC 6 Music

🎟 TICKETS: £11.80 (including booking fee)

🎶 A Family Weekend of Live Music & Events for the community to Enjoy at Alameda School Field, Ampthill for 2026!

✨️ EVENT DETAILS
The Big Tent Weekend enables us to bring together our schools, community and local musicians in a celebration of music and culture. The event is hosted in the heart of our town on the Alameda School field, in sight of our heritage park and just a stone's throw from the Town centre. We will offer affordable live music events which centre around our homegrown talent across all age groups. Nothing fancy, just a back-to-basic, family orientated experience.

To minimise the impact of our unpredictable British weather, our stage will be under a massive Big Top Tent, which can house 1000 seated and 3000 standing. What ever the british summer might throw at us, the party will go on.

We are passionate about sustainability and will focus on pollution control, reducing and recycling waste, promote local food sourcing, supporting local businesses and will have activities design to educate the community.
