shuttle buses to Hi:Fi North

Hi:Fi North, which takes place for one day and night on Saturday 27th May at the Matfen Estate near Newcastle has announced that there will be a shuttle bus service running between the centre of Newcastle and the festival site near the village of Matfen. The service will be offered to facilitate people’s journeys to and from the site.

The buses will depart from the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle from 10am in the morning leaving every 15 minutes: on the hour, quarter past the hour, half past the hour and quarter to the hour. This service will run until 22.00 hours when the service will be less frequent and will run on demand until 2am on Sunday. From 2am the service will run from the festival site returning to the centre of Newcastle, leaving every 15 minutes.

The festival organisers hope that this service will be well received by guests and local residents. The buses will reduce the number of private vehicles going to and from the site and will thereby ease the possible risk of congestion. The offer of public transport should also deter people from drinking and driving. The event organisers are taking every step to minimise disruption to residents and communities near the festival site.

Hi:Fi bills itself as the first rock and dance festival to take place in the North East. Running from 2pm till 4am, headline artists include some of the world’s most popular names such as Ian Brown, Sasha and Paul Oakenfold - click here for all the details.

Tickets cost £52.50 and VIP passes cost £75, and will be available at the site entrance on the day. To buy online now, click here.
