Hardwick Festival is set to be bigger and better than ever in 2023, with a stellar line-up featuring Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and The Kooks as the headliners.

The festival, which takes place at Hardwick Hall Hotel in Sedgefield, will span three days from August 18 to August 20, with an additional day added for the first time in its history.

Alongside the headliners, the festival will also feature performances from Johnny Marr of The Smiths, The Vaccines, The Cribs, Melanie C of the Spice Girls, and local rising star Andrew Cushin.

Andrew said: "It's an absolute pleasure to be returning to Hardwick again this year! Three years running is a real statement and to climb up the bill once again is something I'm immensely proud of, see you there!"

Dance music fans won't be disappointed either, as the lineup includes renowned DJs such as Haçienda Classical, Dennis Ferrer, Craig Charles, Low Steppa, Sam Devine of Defected Records, and BBC Radio 1 DJ Arielle Free.

The festival will also showcase local talent like The Pale White, Liam Fender, Tom A Smith, and The Redroom.

For families, the festival will feature a dedicated children's area with various entertainment options like face painting, magic shows, and workshops.
