Whitehaven Alive has confirmed it will return for 2024 and we have all you need to know, so far, about ticket prices and artist and trader applications.

Following the success of Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Vaccines headlining last year, the four-day festival is back from Thursday, September 12, until Sunday, September 15.

In a social media post, the team confirmed the company is a Community Interest Company.

They said this is so “all profits from the event go straight back into making the next year even bigger and better”.

A spokesperson said: “Whitehaven Alive has always been about the community, our organisers are all volunteers working hard to bring the event to you and we wanted to cement this fact.”

The festival has also been extended from three days to four days.

So where there was live music Friday through to Sunday in 2023, for 2024 there will be live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday will now be a “community-focused” day.

Whitehaven Alive 2024 Early Bird Tickets

So far organisers have released their first wave of tickets – early bird tickets.

Rather than individual days, the organisers have released early bird tickets that cover three nights of music, from Thursday, September 12, until Saturday, September 15.

The earl bird tickets are priced at £90 per person, with a £1.50 ticket fee.

Whitehaven Alive 2024 Trader And Artist Application

Although headliners are yet to be confirmed, applications are open for artists and musicians to take part and can apply by sending an email to getinvolved@whitehavenalive.com.

Organisers also confirmed alongside the music festival a trader market will be located on the Harbourside.

For 2024 the festival is partnering with Mitie as their music partner, Amentum as their hospitality partner and Bounty Competitions as the Friend of Whitehaven Alive sponsor.

In their announcement, organisers confirmed sponsorship opportunities are still available and these provide access to the hospitality lounge with VIP tickets as well as activation zones and advertising within the festival.
