With tickets selling out in days for Sunbury ’24, the excitement was palpable when the gates opened at 1pm on Saturday 13 April, and thousands of music fans poured into The Nook to claim their spot.
Celebrating and reliving the famous Sunbury pop festivals of the 1970s, Sunbury ’24 brought back warm memories for plenty of ticket holders, and the event gave a whole new generation a taste of live music in what can only be described as a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Some might say spiritual.
And the audience, covering all generations were not left disappointed by the line up of new performers and established acts with huge followings. Phil Manning was missed though, and we send him our best wishes.
What a day. What a night. We’re already looking forward to 2026.
