What are the starting and finishing times for the festival?

On both days of the festival, doors open at 12.30pm. The show starts at 2pm and finishes at approximately 9pm

Is the running order/stage times for each day available?

NO! The running order is always subject to last minute changes which makes it impossible to publish in advance. The full running order and stage times will be available inside this year’s event programme.

I can’t order my tickets via the internet, is there a telephone booking line?

YES! You can order your tickets by phone by calling The Ultrasound Music Festival ticket hotline on

Can I purchase a ticket on the day of the festival itself?

YES! However, this is a high risk strategy for someone wishing to attend the show. If there are tickets still remaining for either day of the festival, then they will be available to purchase at the festival site box office.

Can we leave the venue during the day and come back in later on?

NO! There is no exit and re-entry system and this policy will be strictly enforced. Once you are in, you are in.

Can I bring my children to the festival?

YES! We welcome children as this is a family festival. All children 6 and under are admitted free but MUST have an admission ticket of their own which can only be obtained when purchasing your tickets through The Ticket Factory, Ticketmaster or any authorised Ticket Vendor. Please pay special attention to this as children can only legally be admitted with a ticket, it is essential that you obtain their ticket at the time of purchase.

Do you provide car parking facilities?

YES! There are official car parking facilities provided that will be well signed as you approach the Tamworth Area. We will also publish a map of festival parking sites on this website approximately 14 days prior to the event.
