Record crowds as Splendour returns and first act confirmed for 2023

Splendour Festival has drawn to a close after thousands of music fans visited Wollaton Park over the two days in record numbers. There were 20,000 visitors each day on both Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24.

The main stage had performances from Craig David, Supergrass and Richard Ashcroft while Happy Mondays, Anne Marie, Vicky McClure and The Dementia Choir performed on Sunday across the two stages. Fans were delighted with the family atmosphere in the park with many coming to see sets from Annemarie, Becky Hill and Happy Mondays.

Joe Clark and Katie Jarman from East Leake travelled in specially to see Anne Marie. "We've enjoyed the vibe as it's really relaxing here and we like the family atmosphere. It's aimed at everyone and it's been really easy to get in here too. We came to see Annemarie and Example too. We saw Razorlight before so we were pleased to catch them too," they said.
