Splendour attracted a record 21,000 crowd to Wollaton Park, Nottingham, over the weekend, the biggest attendance in the festival’s nine-year history.
The July 23 event, organised by DHP Family in partnership with Nottingham City Council, saw Jess Glynne make her festival headlining debut, while other acts included UB40, The Human League and The Darkness.
Even with an additional 3,000 tickets on sale to meet demand, ticket sales surpassed all previous years and sold out three days before event day.
“We’re proud to have once again staged a hugely successful Splendour,” said DHP owner George Akins. “The months of careful planning by DHP Family and Nottingham City Council paid off to make it an enjoyable experience on the day for everyone involved from the artists backstage to all the people who came to enjoy the music, comedy, food and fringe acts. Now we can’t wait to get started on putting together an amazing line up for next year’s big 10th birthday.”
Splendour's 10th birthday festival has been confirmed for Saturday, July 22.
