James, Razorlight, 10cc, and Embrace, for Hardwick Live Garden Party

James, Razorlight, 10cc, and Embrace lead the first acts confirmed for the 3rd annual Hardwick Live held on Saturday 22nd August at Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield, in County Durham.

John Adamson, Managing Director of Ramside Estates, said, "We're in our third year now of this incredible festival and the line-up for Hardwick Live 2015 is easily our best and most complete yet. The top four artists alone have all headlined other festivals in recent years. You can't ask for better than that."

Hardwick Live 2015 will also feature live appearances by The Beat, Scott Matthews, Natasha North, and Meadowlark.

In addition to the music, there will be fairground rides, a brass band, DJ stage, street entertainers and a hot air balloon. There will also be an international food village as well as champagne, Pimms and cocktails tents on site throughout the event.

Tickets are priced from £49 per adult, and £8 children and will go on sale on Thursday 2nd April and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
