He will be doing an acoustic set through the day on the main stage so everyone gets the chance to see him.

A reminder that there is another 9 brilliant bands playing throughout the day over 2 stages as well as Callum.

Thanks to everyone for the huge support for this years festival. We are happy to share that our Saturday night concert in Clickimin is sold out. We cant wait to share the next news with you all 🙂

Tickets for our Friday Night Clickimin and Saturday Night Clickimin Concerts went on sale on Friday 11th April at 7pm. The demand for our festival simply blew us away – the number of tickets in baskets within the first few minutes made it almost sold out in those early moments. As people had items in baskets which were not completed, these were auto re-released and back available for sale.

PLEASE NOTE – We have been advised that alot of tickets / QR codes have been sent to some email providers SPAM or JUNK folders – please take a look in those folders for your tickets.

We applied a maximum of 4 tickets per order in place – and if anyone wished to attend both nights you will had to complete your order for the first event then come back and place an order for the second event. This is to try and offer as many people as possible the chance to attend Rising North Festival 2025.

Tickets for the Clickimin Evening Concerts on Friday 15th August and Saturday 16th August are currently sold out.

We are working with our partners to ensure the small few who experienced an issue with a website ‘error’ loading after the purchase of tickets rather than the order confirmation page are offered a refund for any duplicate tickets purchased which will make some tickets available for re-sale in the near future – please keep an eye out for details of when those shall be onsale.

If anyone has not recieved tickets / QR codes – or if you have queries on what you have ordered, please send us a message on Facebook or email us on admin@risingnorthfestival.com

For those whom have messaged and we have replied with the confirmation of your refund, you shall recieve an email from Stripe or Square confirming the refund has been processed within the next 24 hours. Funds shall be returned in accordance with their timelines.

Thank you for all of your support.

Tickets for our Friday Night Clickimin and Saturday Night Clickimin Concerts will be on sale from this Friday (11th April) at 7pm.

Honing their sound on the streets of

their native Edinburgh, the band are at their best when up close and personal with audiences; with over a thousand gigs now under their belt, their refined, infectious live performance has become an integral part of the band’s DNA, allowing them to put on a show that supersedes anything their fans have experienced before.

They’re currently smashing it on their “Life’s Too Fast” Tour of America, promoting their recently launched debut album “Life’s Too Fast”.
