RECORD-BREAKING tickets sales have been recorded since the announcement that Noel Gallagher is to star at Bingley Music Live.

Almost three quarters of weekend tickets were sold out within a week of the line-up being announced at the end of March.

Gallagher will headline at the Myrtle Park festival, along with Shed Seven and Jake Bugg.

Bradford Council says ticket sales for the event, which takes place from August 29 to September 2, have broken all previous records for the event. And organisers believe Gallagher is the reason for the massive upsurge in sales.

Last year’s Bingley Music Live sold out a month before the event and organisers say that with ticket sales now surpassing the 9,000 mark, this year’s event is on course to beat this own record.

Noel Gallagher shot to fame with Oasis in 1993 when they signed a deal with Creation Records, releasing their debut Definitely Maybe in 1994. The band have since released seven studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, and six studio albums. Oasis have sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.

Bingley Music Live organisers promise that many more acts are set to join the 2018 bill. A second line-up announcement coming on the 26 April at 5pm will coincide with the release of phase two tickets at which point the price for a weekend ticket will rise to £85.

Prospective festival-goers are being advised to buy tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Phil Barker, Assistant Director of Sport and Culture at Bradford Council, said: “This year’s line up is so strong, it’s not surprising that ticket sales have been going so well and it looks like it won’t take long for them all to go. People really need to get their tickets sorted soon to avoid disappointment. We’ve got a payment plan in place so people can spread the cost.”
