Fake Festival
After a successful sold-out tour last year, with the added double whammy of a hugely popular three-day festival, Fake Festivals is returning to Tynemouth on Saturday 2nd May at Percy Park Rugby Club with another rocking line-up.
Once again, the UK’s only touring tribute festival will be kicking the season off as Tynemouth Fake Festival plays host to an amazing line-up of local support bands and headlining tribute bands. Tributes to Green Day, Bon Jovi and the Arctic Monkeys will be smashing up the main stage, bringing the festival spirit with their uncanny likeness and voices.
“We were completely overwhelmed last year as the festival sold out a full four weeks before the day itself,” says Bec Evans, License holder for Tynemouth Fake Festival.
“Tynemouth is our longest running event here in the North East and is increasing in popularity year on year as word is spreading about the fun to be had at a Fake Festivals. Early sales are ahead of last year’s and we’re incredibly excited about our show in 2015. We’ve been working tirelessly all year to scout and confirm five super talented local bands to support our debuting tributes & we’re pretty sure you’ll all be blown away with the quality of music we’ll be showcasing.”
Early bird tickets are on sale already until 2nd April and are priced as:
· Adult £17.00
· Young Person (10-17years) £8.50
· Family (2 x adult 2 x Young Person) £43.00
· Children 0-9 years FREE
“We always look at trying to offer more to our loyal followers, and again this year when you buy your Tynemouth Fake Festival ticket, it will give you free entry and camping to our three-day Big Fake Festival, so you get four days of live music for the price of one,” continues Bec.
The North East will play host to its own mini Fake Festivals tour with two other dates confirmed. Thanks to Bec and the success of Fake Festivals in the North East, there will be festivals in Chester-Le-Street and Whickham again, as well as Tynemouth.
“We had a fantastic summer in 2014, we’re genuinely overwhelmed at how popular the events have become here in the North East & we’re thrilled to announce we’ll be continuing our Fake Festivals adventure this year by returning to Tynemouth, Whickham and Chester Le Street,” says Bec.
“The whole essence of a Fake Festival is to bring an incredible festival vibe to the heart of thriving communities while at the same time supporting other local businesses and traders. Our plan is to make the experience accessible to everyone in the North East by having annual festivals in safe and easy to get to areas.”
Tickets can be purchased directly through the Fake Festivals website at www.fakefestivals.co.uk. Don’t forget to register for your free ticket to The Big Fake Festival in September after your purchase.
“This festival is always sold out every year, so I would urge people to buy tickets early,” continues Bec. “Not only will this guarantee you entry, but it will also save you some pennies if you buy at the early bird price.”
