New Wave Of Three Day And Saturday Tickets Released For Highest Point Festival

Highest Point, Lancashire’s biggest open-air festival, has today announced a limited number of three day tickets and Saturday tickets are set to go on sale today (Monday 2nd May) at 10am.

Previously, event organisers had announced that weekend and Saturday tickets for the music festival had sold out, but a limited amount of re-sale tickets will be made available this morning.

The four-day musical extravaganza, which will feature an array of chart-toppers and rock legends, including Clean Bandit, Kaiser Chiefs and Richard Ashcroft, plus the return of the Big Family Day Out, the festival promises to be one not to be missed. 

Highest Point Festival will be held from Thursday 12^th – Sunday  15^th May 2022 at the stunning 54-acre grounds of Williamson Park, where guests can expect to see more than one hundred artists across six stages over the course of the weekend, plus enjoy a premier regional street food and craft beer offering on-site. 

The headliners at this year’s event are set to be accompanied by the likes of Basement Jaxx, Sigala, Example, Brit Nominee Not3s, Low Steppa, as well as breakout stars Mae Muller and Mimi Webb. There will also be appearances from Horse Meat Disco, SASASAS, Shy FX, Sub Focus, Turno, DJ & producer Emily Nash, Lancaster natives Lowes, Judge Jules, Luke Una, Charlie Tee and local hero Matt Thiss plus indie favourites Reverend and the Makers, and The Lottery Winners.  For a dose of nostalgia, Escape Classics, Mr Wilsons Second Liners, 80s V 90s and Funkademia will wow the crowds & festival favourites The Cuban Brothers will return once again this year, with their outrageous comedy performances. 

There are a few new additions to this year’s festival, including the Noktober beer hall, a new area of the event which will feature an immersive bingo experience with rave intervals, dance-offs and audience participation, karaoke, drag acts & more. There will also be a new drinks masterclass area, a bigger stage area at The Woods, plus more bars and more toilets. 

The Big Family Day out is also back with Sunday, the final day of the festival, set to be a day full of fun and laughter for the whole family with festival style activities designed for kids of all ages.

This year’s festival will follow on from 2021’s hugely successful comeback instalment that saw the festival return following the covid-19 pandemic.
