But whilst some of them have been on the scene for decades, others have emerged more recently, capitalising on the huge demand for festival tickets that we have in this country. And as more and more festivals emerge, all offering their own line-ups and atmospheres, it will allow more people of varying different tastes the chance to witness the summer festival of their choice.
One event that is a relatively recent addition to the festival scene is the Bingley Music Live event, which appears in Myrtle Park in Bingley each year. Audiences flock to the event in West Yorkshire during late August/early September to experience a range of high quality bands and a unique atmosphere. Since 2007 it has been on a steady rise to become one of the most exciting young festivals around and as time goes on it is likely to remain the case as Bingley Music Live tickets continue to be hot property whenever they go on sale.
But then, every year an array of high quality live acts bestow its stage, with 2010 featuring a line-up that includes headliners James and The Enemy. With those bands taking centre stage on the Saturday and Sunday respectively, it was announced that they would be supported by the likes of Seasick Steve, the Levellers, Dreadzone, Reef and much more. But this impressive line-up was no fluke and in years previous they also managed to attract names like The Zutons, The Sunshine Underground, Ocean Colour Scene, Happy Mondays, Echo & The Bunnymen, Scouting for Girls, The Autmoatic, From the Jam and The Charlatans. So when you get hold of tickets for this festival, you can be certain of an abundance of high quality acts.
So make sure you are one of those lucky enough to be armed with Bingley Music Live tickets when they become available. By doing so you can experience a truly unique event, which has the added bonus of often including a ‘free’ day in which festival goers can get in without tickets. In 2009 this took place on the Friday and on Sunday in 2008. So this is something else to look out for as Bingley Music Live continues into the next decade, with festival goers hoping for a great weekend of live music.
After all, when it comes to summer festivals, with the abundance of choice already on offer it can be difficult to stand out amongst the crowd. But Bingley Music Live is managing to cause quite an impression, showing that brand new festivals have every chance of succeeding in a thriving music scene.
