The Godiva Festival is a free three day music festival held each year in the War Memorial Park, Coventry, England, named after the city's famous former inhabitant Lady Godiva. It first appeared as a day-long event in 1997 and became a 3-day event the following year in 1998. It is the largest free family music festival in the UK, and is made up of two fields; a Main Field and a Family field, which each offer a different experience.
The modern three-day music festival is a non-profit making event organised by Coventry City Council. It is widely marketed as the biggest free family music festival in the UK.
The festival attracted 148,0000 visits in 2016 to a 12-acre (49,000 m2) site in Coventry's War Memorial Park.
The festival includes a dedicated Main Stage which has played host to a wide array of mainstream and independent acts, including Kasabian, Biffy Clyro, The Charlatans, The Boomtown Rats, Scouting For Girls, The Wombats, Don Broco, Embrace, Fun Lovin' Criminals, the Buzzcocks, the Happy Mondays and The Enemy. The other large stage on the Main Field is the Rock/Rhythm Tent, which plays host to rock/metal acts on Friday night, and has seen artists such as Neck Deep, Slaves and Kids in Glass Houses perform since its introduction in 2014. Saturday's Rhythm Tent has seen acts such as Fuse ODG, JME, Big Narstie and D Double E.
