WHERE TO BUY TICKETS?

Tickets should always be bought from a reliable source.

Online: From the official website you're currently on obviously here

Tickets will be sold on the day from the on-site box office, subject to availability. Where possible, please bring cash with you to pay as card payments can take a long time to process, causing delays for everyone in the queue.

We cannot be held responsible for any purchases made through unreliable sources

CARBON OFFSETTING

Trying to get to the festival in an environmentally friendly way, but still want to do more?  Donate a few pence to negate the carbon emitted by travelling to the festival and we’ll invest it all into environmental projects at local schools.

Climate change is a pressing global issue. Nevertheless, there are things that we can all do.

We are committed to encouraging and providing more sustainable transport options to Hard Rock Calling where possible, and would also like to offer customers the opportunity to negate their unavoidable carbon emissions associated with travelling to this event by investing in environmental projects in schools around Hyde Park

If you would like to participate in this scheme, there is an option to add 50p to your order on the shipping page. Schools in the local area will be coming up with their projects for the funds, these will then be detailed on www.hardrockcalling.co.uk and we’ll choose one to support.

Eco-Schools are an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the heart of school life.
