Main stage ticket prices are :

• Friday £35
• Saturday £45 (afternoon and evening sessions)
• Sunday £45 (afternoon and evening sessions)
• WEEKEND £95

A weekend ticket represents a saving of £30 over individual tickets. Also The weekend main stage ticket includes a free weekend trail wrist band worth £12, giving a total saving of £42 for individual tickets giving access to all bands over the festival weekend.

Despite a significant increase in expenditure on main stage artists, the weekend ticket price is the same as last year at £95. This is excellent value for money and we estimate that you would pay well over £200 to see all the artists in individual concerts. Also, this is an opportunity to see major artists in a 2000 capacity marquee rather than outside amongst an audience of many thousands. The full main stage programme is now on the website.

Trail Wrist Bands

These give access to all the trail venues around the town and the two outdoor stages: Senhouse Stage and the American Stage.

Trail prices :

• Per day £5
• Weekend £12

Trail are available from The Carnegie Theatre and Maryport Festivals Ltd, details above. Wrist bands are not available from the venues.

A full list of the artists appearing on the trail is on the festival website.

All ticket sales are subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the festival website
