After a seven year break between 2015 and 2021, Festifeel was revived in September 2022. Hosted at Omera, 600 people had joined CoppaFeel! to chat boobs and fundraise for the charity. [3]

Festifeel hasn't happened since 2022 but it continues to be active. While the next one is expected soon, as of January 2026, no information about dates or ticket details are available. [3]

"There were two stages headlined by the band McFly, and Festifeel raised £32k through ticket sales, sponsorship and donations at the event. For the main stage BSL signers accompanied the acts and provided live interpretation for the event." [3]
