North East festival offering £1 tickets in celebration of Glastonbury history

Over 37 Glastonbury performances between them, artists from this year’s Hardwick Festival lineup have graced Worthy Farm’s iconic stages across the decades.

Now, in their honour, Hardwick Festival is giving fans the chance to experience a world-class weekend of music for a fraction of the usual cost.

As part of a ‘pay like its 1970’ promotion, the festival is offering:

• 10 Day Tickets at 1970 Glastonbury price – £1
• 20 Day Tickets at 1983 price – £12
• 30 Day Tickets at 1990 price – £38
• 40 Day Tickets at 1994 price – £59
• 50 Day Tickets at 1997 price – £65
• Very limited Weekend Tickets – £159

Tickets are available online now.

Speaking about the new initiative, a Hardwick Festival spokesperson said: “We know times are tough. With the cost of living continuing to rise, we wanted to give something back to our loyal festivalgoers and the amazing people of the North East.

Music should be for everyone - and this is our way of saying thank you, by offering some of the best value tickets in the UK this summer.

These prices are a nod to Glastonbury’s incredible legacy and the incredible artists who’ve played both there and now, at Hardwick. But you’ll need to be quick - once each tier sells out, they’re gone for good.”
