About
When businessman Stephen Kealey ran a Tractor Pull event in 2024 he quickly saw the potential of this relatively fledgling sport in this country becoming a great family day out. The immediate move was to go bigger and better and to turn this into a major event and so, approximately 10,000 people descended upon Dungiven last July for the Revvv It Up Festival.
The subsequent months have seen a flurry of activity to add to this year's attractions and to increase interest in the sport of Tractor Pulling from further afield. The latter was achieved relatively early, such was the enthusiasm from all who had attended previously and competitors from all over England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have signed up for this July.
Such has been the demand that, as you read this, extra tracks are being constructed for the event. But it's not all about Tractor Pulling; a plethora of kids' activities have been lined up with, if rumours are to be believed, that scary dinosaur returning along with various superheroes and even a Tribute to Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter.
It doesn't stop there as celebrity chef, Ian Orr, has been drafted in to give cookery demonstrations. Ian is at the forefront of the much acclaimed Brown's Restaurants and as part of his various slots, he's also going to include a special Kids' Cookery Special.
Perhaps the most remarkable achievement in this year's line-up is that Revvv It Up will feature the country's top five country music acts to include Claudia Buckley, Lisa McHugh, Derek Ryan, Cliona Hagan and Nathan Carter. A special, monster-sized stage is bring drafted in and all those who attend the daytime activities will be able to stay on and enjoy these acts with a fireworks display to conclude the activities.
