Bickershaw, held on a fairly wet May weekend in 1972 was around £2.25 in advance for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Around 40,000 people attended and the festival inspired many audience members to pursue careers in the music industry.

New Riders of the Purple Sage - Watcha gonna Do

Deeply Vale / Bickershaw Festival 2007 Announced!

2006-06-08T15:30:00.000+01:00

Two of the classic names in North West festival history are to return as a festival event in 2007.

35 years on from the 1972 Bickershaw Music Festival, we propose to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the legendary Bickershaw Festival and the 30th Anniversary of the 1977 Deeply Vale festival. The Deeply Vale / Bickershaw Music Festival is to be held hopefully in an area halfway between Manchester and Liverpool [subject to Licence]. The proposed site we are looking for will have great road access from both Manchester and Liverpool and the M6.

A team of production workers including some of the most experienced in the music industry are putting the event proposals together now.
