The Association of Independent Festivals

The Association of Independent Festivals is a non-profit trade association created to represent UK independent music festivals. The aim is to help the businesses of AIF’s individual members, and help the needs of the independent festival sector.

AIF is set up to promote the UK’s independently spirited festivals, encouraging efficient management of events, and therefore a better experience for audiences.

AIF operates as an autonomous division of AIM (Association of Independent Music) with its own board and structure. It is chaired by AIM Chairman Alison Wenham, joining some of the UK’s strongest and most creative music festivals as founder members.

Lee & Thompson is proud to be a “friend” of AIF.
