Thousands of tickets are available for the event in Hampden Park on July 29 and 30 and people are asked to sign up so organisers get some idea of numbers. Up to 18,000 people are expected to attend.

Tickets are available over Fatsoma and in partnership with David Ruddle’s ThebestofEastbourne. The link can be found on the festival’s Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as on the website of Thebestof.
