ATOMIC is an amazing weekend…

Two incredible days, packed with 1950s rock’n’roll music, dancing, late bars, superb vintage stalls and flea market, great street food served from vintage vans, and non-stop fun, action and mid-century style.
Thousands of like-minded people, a top quality international line-up of bands & DJs playing in spectacular indoor venues, traditional flag-start drag racing, air displays, jiving, bopping & strolling in an historic hangar and an enormous big-top with a 6000 sq ft dance floor, a pre-1963 car show and drive-in movie, poodles, roller skating… and the best festival atmosphere ever!
