Stewart, 67, recalls he took on the Bull's Head on King Street in Delph on April 19, 1989 at 10.30am.
Since then he has become one of the community’s well-respected landlords, hosting a business which is has famed for friendliness and strong music strands.
When asked why he first took the pub on, he quipped: *"I was daft for doing it.”
But he then added: “There have been some tough times in the trade and thousands of pubs out there.
"But I’ve no intention of moving.
“It’s tough sometimes - and a big laugh others.
"And you have to be tenacious, so now I want to share my 35 years with a musical milestone.”
The three-day event takes place between April 19-21, 2024, at the Bull's Head pub.
Bands featuring across the weekend include State of Confusion and Oldham legends Lemonade, while DJ Bernie will host the Friday night's celebrations.
