Festival Director, Jamie Scahill, said: “We can’t wait to be back at the amazing Williamson Park in May, it’s been just 8 months since our last sell out festival there and we’re set to sell out again. This is our biggest line up and there is someone for everyone with lots of new surprises including our new beer hall style area, ‘Noktoberfest’.”

Highest Point Festival will also be throwing a ‘Microrave’ in aid of Macmillan at this year’s festival to support those living with cancer. There will be special guest DJs, Sunset Sessions and a ready meal auction. Attendees can order a ‘Drink for Chris’ at its bars with the money donated directly to Macmillan Cancer Support.
