A star-studded festival is set to take place in the North East this August.

After more than a year without live concerts, music fans will be able to enjoy huge artists past and present at the Hardwick Festival, which will take place at Hardwick Hall in County Durham on August 21 and 22.

Disco legends Nile Rodgers and Chic will headline on Saturday evening, while fans attending on Sunday will be some of the first to hear live tracks from Rag’n’Bone Man’s new album ‘Life By Misadventure’ .

As well as the headline acts, noughties indie darlings Razorlight will be taking to the stage on Sunday, whilst Rebecca Ferguson and Imelda May have sets on Saturday.

Overall, the festival has five stages of music, with comedy-folk , DJ sets, and rising North East stars all represented.

John Adamson, the owner of Hardwick Hall Hotel, said: “Hardwick Festival is one of the highlights of our year and we are delighted to be planning its return. We have an incredible line-up this ear, with artists from a huge range of genres, so I think there really will be something for everyone.”

Tickets for Hardwick Festival are on sale now at £55 for a day ticket or £99 for the weekend plus booking fees. For those staying overnight, camping and glamping is available.
