The News We’ve All Been Waiting For…[Press Release]

On Monday night and the whole country was on the edge of their seat waiting for the announcement and none more so than the organisers of our summer events, hoping for some guidance on the coming months and praying for some positivity. Ed Faulkner, organiser of Tribfest Music Festival, was one of these people. Thankfully, the positive news that this country was so desperate for was announced and it has already had a huge impact in just 2 days with large travel companies recording increases of over 1000% in sales in just a few days. However, what does the roadmap mean for our summer festivals that are such an important part in our summer calendars?

Tribfest is one of the jewels in the crown of Yorkshire music events and has been voted Best Entertainment and Leisure Venue in East Yorkshire 2018 -2020 (Best Bar None Awards) and finalist for Remarkable Tourism Event of the Year in 2018 and 2019 in the annual REYTA awards, is striving forwards and hoping that they can supply us all with a much-needed weekend of fun on 19th – 22nd August 2021.

As an event organiser putting on a large-scale event such as Tribfest is ‘what it’s all about’ says Ed Faulkner but he understands the added pressures that are coming with it for this summer. ‘The safety of our event goers is absolutely paramount and to be honest it’s what keeps me awake most nights’ he explained. With restrictions looking to be lifted by 21 st June one can’t help but wonder what this will actually look like, will we still be needing masks and sanitising before each shop visit? Or will rapid testing be implemented more widely to avoid these things? It’s really anyone’s guess at this point but event organisers are now planning for the summer and are somehow meant to be able to predict this. The Tribfest team are planning for all eventualities but with such a limited budget due to almost no new ticket sales over the past year it is really hard. ‘We want people to come to Tribfest and feel as safe as they do every year so we will be following all government guidance and investing in whatever infrastructures we need to’.

People are definitely doing their best to get us all out and enjoying life again this summer but people should be expecting events to be a little different, how? No one is really sure yet but it is naïve to think that everything will just spring back to normal when we wake on 21 st June. Ed is confident that ‘Tribfest will still be a fantastic event this summer’ and he does not want people to turn up and be let down. ‘We are determined as a festival to better ourselves every year and 2021 is no exception.’ ‘We may be forced to make some small changes but we will do our upmost to keep the safe, family friendly and sociable feel that Tribfest encourages.’

A lot of festivals have publicly folded over the past year with many falling through the cracks of the government funding. Ed and the team have applied for lots of funding for the festival and so far apart from a few small bits we haven’t been eligible for much. We have made an application to Arts Council for the Culture Recovery fund but every single person in the events and entertainments industry has also gone for this so we just hope that as a smaller event we get our fair share. At the moment we are still relying on our fantastic customers who have been incredibly supportive and we have already started seeing an upturn in ticket sales which is exactly the kind of positive action we need!’ ‘The summer sun has started shining and hopefully this is a sign of better things to come.’

Festivals are so important, not only for the feel-good factor of the masses but they contribute billions of pounds to the UK economy and there are millions of people who depend on festivals for their livelihood. Studies have shown that for every £10 spent at a festival £17 is spent in the local area, money that is vital for our cities, towns and villages to survive. Ed Faulkner is well aware of this and explains that ‘the support we have received from the local people in Sledmere, Driffield and further afield is really encouraging’. Tribfest is now nationally and internationally recognised as a leader in their field and bring people from all over the UK and Europe to work and enjoy the festival alike. ‘We know how important our festival is to our customers and therefore we will do everything that we can to ensure a safe and enjoyable Tribfest 2021.’

A sad day for Glastonbury but we need to keep the faith!

We’re gutted to hear that Glastonbury, festivals of all festivals, has been forced to close their gates for another year. But don’t shove your wellies in the loft just yet, we are still working hard to give Tribfest 2021 the best chance!

Tribfest is on a completely different scale to Glastonbury and we are lucky that we can put certain things in place to make our event as safe as possible.

It’s a long road but we will keep you informed every step of the way and we are always on hand to answer your questions.Thank you again for all of your continued support. Your positive comments and messages are the things that keep us driving forward.

Love Ed & Dempsey

TICKET UPDATE

Tribfest 2020 rescheduled to 2021

In light of the most recent update given by the government we have decided to bring this announcement forward to avoid any confusion.

It is with very heavy hearts that we write this message. Tribfest 2020 will not be able to take place this year. We have explored lots of options but in order to keep you, the artists, our staff, suppliers and emergency services all safe we will not be able to go ahead with the festival this summer.

Looking forward, Tribfest will now take place on Thursday 19^th August (Early Entry) / Friday 20^th August – Sunday 22^nd August 2021.

We’re pleased to confirm that all tickets bought for this year’s festival will automatically be rolled over to 2021. Don’t worry; the barcodes will be valid for 2021 even though it will say the old date on the ticket. We’d love to see you at next year’s festival, so if you want to attend, no further action is required.

If, for any reason at all, you’re not able to join us for the new dates, you’ll be able to claim a refund on your tickets. We’re working closely with our ticketing partners (Tixel & Eventbrite) and will be in touch with instructions via an email from Tixel on Monday 29^th June. As previously mentioned in our past statement we would ask you if possible to retain your tickets to ensure that Tribfest can continue in the coming years.

We have decided to continue the 20% discount offer on all weekend tickets for Tribfest 2021 until midnight on 31^st August 2020, as we know that some people have suffered financially due to the pandemic. Simply enter ‘SUMMER20’ in the promotional code box before you pay for your tickets to claim this discount. Please note that there will be no further discounts after this for Tribfest 2021 tickets.

We want to send a huge thank you to everyone for your patience, understanding and messages of support in this difficult time. We promise that we will work our socks off to make 2021 the most amazing Tribfest ever. Tribfest would be nothing without you all and we can’t wait to see you back at Sledmere House in 2021.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to send love and thanks to all the NHS staff and key workers who have been working constantly to help us all navigate this horrible pandemic.

For now, keep safe, keep healthy and look after each other.

Ed & Dempsey
