LooseFest, the largest music festival in the North East has officially announced it’s 2022 festival dates. The event will take place on the weekend of Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st of July 2022 with up to 30,000 people expected to attend each day. Thanks to a ground-breaking partnership with The Freemen of Newcastle and on-going support from the City council to finalise the licensing arrangements, this year will see LooseFest make history as the largest music festival ever to take place at its new home on Newcastle’s Town Moor.
Dwarfing the scale of its 2021 site at Herrington Park in Sunderland, event organisers have vowed to utilise the inner-city green space to plant Newcastle and the North East firmly on the UK festival map and offer a welcomed and sustainable boost to the local & wider economies.
The highly anticipated event released a packed phase one line-up to its social media followers on Sunday evening boasting a number of huge acts including the internationally renowned Black Eyed Peas, chart toppers Joel Corry, AJ Tracey and Clean Bandit – plus local legend Patrick Topping heading up an equally impressive tech house line-up with Jamie Jones, Lee Foss & many more.
Over 30,000 people have already signed up for a 24 hour discount pre-sale which will go live at 1pm on Friday 25th March and those wanting to secure tickets are encouraged to register their interest online now at loosefest.com
One of the founding members of LooseFest, Simon Sykes said; “We are delighted to be working with some of the biggest brands and artists in the industry and have had an absolutely incredible response to our phase one line-up release this weekend! We’ve been inundated with messages of support from people right across the country, which we see as an important step towards our ultimate goal of putting the festival spotlight firmly back on the North East for many years to come. So watch this space, it’s going to be an amazing weekend of entertainment this year – with multiple all-weather stages, huge festival production, a street food village, a carnival fun fair with a ferris wheel and much more to be announced”.
