  4. Now in its 4th year, the MACH Festival has quickly grown into one of the most innovative and unique biker festivals in the world. 

    Located in Llanidloes in the heart of Wales, offering two mass ride outs, several DIY routes, green-laning and the annual Adventure Quest there’s no shortage of opportunities to get out on your bike and explore.

    Off the bike and in the main tent we have a line-up of acts that in the past has included a rendition of Metallica by violin, comedic folk and up-and-coming rock and indie bands. New acts for MACH include the amazing swing band ‘The Zen Hussies’ and the superb ‘Ouse Valley Singles Club’

    In the brand new ‘Quirky Tent’ we have hypnotists and mind-readers and more. All performing in a magical environment befitting a master illusionist.

    Then when you least expect it, a 12ft laser robot goes walkabout, a circus troupe performs cutting edge theatre with a stunning fire display whilst a slack-liner escapologist dangles in the air.

    And look at the refreshments! Added alongside our beloved Ty Gwyn cider will be 6 new types of locally brewed craft beer, fresh pizzas from our brand new copper-topped pizza oven, mega-burgers and our usual range of 100% home-made food.

    There’s also technical Master classes, some brand new guest speakers and much more to be announced. Visit www.MACHFestival.co.uk for more details.
