PEOPLE will get their first chance this weekend to snap up tickets for this year’s Rising North music festival.

A limited number of early bird tickets will be available in person from Mareel on Saturday (28 February) between 12pm and 6pm.

These tickets will cost £100 and will grant entry to every Clickimin event at this year’s festival – the Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday daytime.

This year’s Rising North will take place over 13-16 August, with Northern Irish trio Ash and English rock band Pale Waves announced as the headliners.

General tickets are expected to go on sale in April.
