TICKETS for one of the North East’s most successful music festivals have gone on sale – without anyone knowing the line-up.

Hardwick Live 2015, which took place in the grounds of Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield on August 22 was a sell-out, with more than 10,000 people turning to see bands including James, 10cc and The Cast.

And now organisers have put early bird tickets on sale for the 2016 event, which has been renamed as Hardwick Live presents Down To The Woods.

The line-up for next year’s event, which is planned for August 13, is not yet being announced but Ramside Estates, which organises the concert, promises there will be some exciting performers.

“Given the calibre of this year’s line-up, anyone who attends knows they are going to see some incredible musicians,” said Jonathan Woodliffe of Ramside Estates.

“We are working on putting an amazing programme together and, as some people were disappointed this year because it was sold out, this gives everyone the opportunity to get their tickets early.”

Prices for Down To The Woods are £45 for adults, £15 for young people and £8 for children, with camping pitches available for £30.
