Overview
- General sale for Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May opens at 5pm today via Ticketmaster, with roughly 31,000 general admission and 2,960 VIP tickets available each day.
- Overnight, organisers lifted the either/or cap so buyers can purchase up to two tickets for both days; Friday remains 18+ and those aged 15 or under must be accompanied by an adult on other days.
- Tickets are geographically weighted at launch: 30% for Sunderland residents, 60% for the wider NECA region, and 10% UK‑wide, with unsold local allocations rolling to general sale after seven days.
- General admission for Saturday and Sunday is priced at £44.50 and tickets are available exclusively through Ticketmaster accounts.
- The full three‑day bill is confirmed with headliners Fatboy Slim (Friday), Zara Larsson (Saturday) and Olivia Dean (Sunday), and the BBC will broadcast live and run Life Hacks panels across the North East from March 24–27 as the area prepares transport measures for an expected ~100,000 attendees.
