Ipswich is gearing up for a significant cultural event with the launch of the Halo Festival, described as the largest of its kind in the town.

The festival is organized by Halo, a tech firm based in Stowmarket, Suffolk, which also sponsors Ipswich Town. Company founder Paul Hamilton emphasized the aim to "give back to the community" through affordable ticket prices, with special considerations for local residents. A unique feature includes discounts for attendees if wet weather impacts the event.
Beyond the main stages, the festival will include a DJ tent and a dedicated area showcasing local artists. Organizers plan to start with an attendance of around 10,000 people, with aspirations to expand in future years. This initiative highlights a commitment to supporting the Suffolk community where the company and many of its staff originate.
