EXTRA tickets have been released for a North-East music festival to cope with record breaking demand.

Hardwick Live, held annually in the grounds of Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield, returns on Saturday, August 22, headlined by James.

Organisers, Ramside Estates, have now released an extra 1,000 tickets for the one day event, which will also feature Main Stage performances by special guests Razorlight, plus 10cc, Embrace and The Beat.

Additional camping pitches have also been created at nearby Humble Knowle Farm to cater for larger numbers.

The festival will feature three stages of live entertainment, including the Main Stage and a dome, hosting comedy performances during the afternoon and DJ sets into the night.

John Adamson, owner of Ramside Estates, said: “Hardwick Live 2015 will feature some of the biggest names in British music, past, present and future.

This amazing line-up, headlined by James, has led to an exceptionally high demand for both tickets and accommodation and we are delighted to be able to now offer more of both to festival goers from across the UK.

“I would like to thank both Humble Knowle Farm and JH Coaches for their support.”

Tickets for Hardwick Live 2015, priced at £49 per adult and from £8 per child, are available at www.hardwicklive.co.uk.
