The multi venue, street food, drink and music festival will take place in Stevenage Old Town on Saturday, August 6, 2022.
A post on the event's Instagram page said: "We are back for 2022. Slightly earlier in the year and the summer."
This year's one-day event comes back bigger and better with more stages, meaning more music, and more venues and a larger and more inclusive kids zone.
Between 11am and 1am a rotating programme of bands, DJs and singers from all genres will play different locations on the High Street and in venues.

A spokesperson for the promoters said: "We’ve also lined up a whole host of craft and food vendors to complement our already well-loved High Street shops and stores.
"Seven High Street venues are confirmed so far, a brand new ‘hospitality village’, a kids zone, two main stages either end of the High Street and a busking spot so we can guarantee that there will be something there for everyone."
