Tickets on sale for Feel Good Festival

-

TICKET details for next summer’s Rochdale Feel Good Festival main stage went on sale this week.

The festival will return on Saturday, August 10, 2024, for another showcase of top class entertainm­ent, food and culture.

Line-up details are still to be announced. Organisers Rochdale Borough Council released the main stage tickets on Thursday. Early bird tickets are £8 each for the first 400 sold, before general sale tickets are released at £15.

For the first time, to cut single use plastic, all tickets include a Rochdale Feel Good Festival re-usable drink cup to be collected at the festival.

You can book online at rochdale.gov.uk/feelgoodfe­stival or in person at Middleton Arena.

Next year, the event returns to its usual location, Rochdale Town Hall Square, after a five-year absence caused by the Covid pandemic and the major restoratio­n of the building.

The festival will again include live music across indoor venues, the main stage against the backdrop of the Grade 1-listed town hall, a quality food and drink village and other entertainm­ent.

Councillor Janet Emsley, the council’s cabinet member for equity, safety and reform, is advising everyone to book early.

“I said we must do something very special when this festival returns home to Rochdale Town Hall Square after five long years away and I can promise it will be our biggest line-up yet.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone back. You’re going to have to wait a little longer to find out who’s playing, but it will be worth it. To make it as good value as possible we are releasing these

early bird tickets, so don’t miss out, book early.”

Previous Feel Good main stage performers include Razorlight, The Coral, Feeder, The Fratellis, Scouting for Girls, Cast, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Toploader, The Feeling, The South, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Beat, Badly Drawn Boy, The Selector and The

Lightning Seeds. Another local band will get chance to play the main stage.

Last year, The Sprats played the biggest gig of their career on the Saturday. The Battle of the Bands competitio­n will be launched in April with local acts encouraged to apply to win the slot.

The festival is funded by the council, together with ticket sales and sponsorshi­p from local businesses. If you would like to get involved with the festival, email Feelgoodfe­stival@rochdale.gov.uk
