A short while back you may have seen us post about the upcoming Nightflix Drive-In Festival, the UK’s first-announced UK live music Drive-In, has today revealed a revised schedule for its Summer line-up of shows.
The Nightflix Drive-In Festival, which will now take place at Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire and will now be in August.
Nightflix Drive-in Festival is a series 9 live music concerts taking place over 9 consecutive nights; 9 acts each taking centre stage for one night. The line-up is comprised of the U.K.’s number one tribute acts, straddling multiple music genres, offering a little something for everyone! As well as a support DJ, each event will now also include a movie following the main performance. Tickets are priced from only £39 per car. Guests are required to adhere to government guidelines regarding mixing households but can bring a full car to enjoy the show.
Nightflix has been working in close partnership with venue owners and local authorities to ensure that not only are guests safe at the Festival, but that they can also have the optimum experience within the parameters of the prevailing guidance around COVID-19. With recent and upcoming relaxing of lockdown rules, Nightflix anticipate that August will offer greater freedom for revellers to picnic and/or dance around their cars and therefore enhance the experience.
Nightflix Founder, John Sullivan: “Our main priorities are safety and enjoyment. We want our guests to feel looked after, know they are in a safe environment and to have the best time they can possibly have. With live music, the desire to dance and share the experience with friends is key. With this slight shift in dates, we hope to be able to offer guests a little more freedom of movement to maximise the fun without impacting on their safety.”
Tickets for the original July dates will be valid for the corresponding August performances. Refunds will be available for those who cannot reschedule. In addition, July ticket holders will be able to join a Drive-In Cinema show on the date of their original show, so they won’t lose that night out in their July diary! Ticket holders will be contacted by Nightflix directly.
In other news, Nightflix has partnered with local charity Home Start Newark. The charity offers support to local families with children or a child under 5 years who are struggling to cope. Each ticket sale for the revised schedule will see a donation going to Home Start. Every ticket sold will, therefore, contribute to helping out families in the local community.
Sara Grant, Senior Organiser: “Home-Start Newark are delighted to be chosen as a charity partner for these Nightflix Drive-In Festivals. We are overwhelmed with their generosity. These funds will help us to continue to provide our vital support for local families during this very challenging time.”
