ELECTRIC SUMMER 2027 - TICKETS

If you happen to have tickets for our big kick off day this Sunday, once you’ve arrived and you’re in front of the video screens by the stage you’ll see an advert on screen with a QR code which gives exclusive access to an ultra early bird price for ES27. This price will only be available on Sunday if you’re in the crowd. The deal is over once the show ends, or sooner if it sells out.

If you’re unable to come along on Sunday, online early bird tickets will be available on Monday morning from 9am. A link will be posted here shortly before that time.

These ticket types offer a discount of between 30% and 42% compared to this year’s general entry price, but both deals will be strictly limited availability, so grab them while you can!

We expect to begin making line up announcements from September onwards, so keep an eye on this page for updates.

** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT RE. SUNDAY **

After discussing this at length with our operations team, we have decided to allow re-entry into the park during the day if you need (or just want) to leave at any time and come back later. We'll have a wristband for you when you first arrive and have your ticket scanned, so we'll pop it onto your wrist at that point.

We hope this will be helfpul to you, especially if you're local and need to pop home for any reason (like to walk the dog!).

Please note that we still reserve the right to refuse entry or re-entry to anyone who our security team deems to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

We'll be posting again shortly with details of the bring / don't bring list.

You could say that Electric Summer has been more than SIX YEARS in the making....read all about it courtesy of this great feature by the lovely people at the County Gazette (thank you!).

What began as a way to survive the isolation of the Covid-19 lockdowns has evolved into one of Somerset's most ambitious new music festivals.

** ANNOUNCEMENT OF TIMETABLE FOR ES26 **

Hi everyone! Now we're just seven days away from our big day out in the park, we're ready to share the timetable for the day.

Please note that timings are always subject to slight change, but the day has to end at 2230 due to council restrictions - it's called a "hard curfew". The band changeovers during the day won't quite be as tight as they were at LIVE AID (!), but, well, you get the gist!

IMPORTANT - PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE YOUR TICKETS PRINTED OUT OR SAVED TO YOUR MOBILE, AND THAT THEY ARE OPEN BEFORE YOU REACH OUR TICKET LANES IN THE PARK. THIS HELPS AVOID QUEUES BUILDING UP - THANK YOU!

1200 - gates open for early entry ticket holders (it will clearly state "early entry" on your ticket if this applies to you)

1230 - gates open for everyone

1355 - Neon Fields

1505 - Agency-V

1615 - Black Nail Cabaret

1730 - mesh

1845 - Blancmange

2000 - Heaven 17

2115 - Howard Jones

2230 - CLOSE / HARD CURFEW

We'll be posting again over the next day or two with a list of things you should bring with you to ensure you make the most of the day, along with the kind of things you won't be allowed to bring in.....

And if you still haven't booked, we highly recommend doing that PDQ at www.universe.com/electricsummer26 . If you're hoping to be able to buy tickets at the gate, we'll be directing you to book online using that same link, so please do it before getting to the park - thank you!
