MADE Festival, the West Midlands’ biggest and best music and arts festival, has linked up with Sheffield-based organisation Tickets For Good, and donated 1000 tickets to enable NHS workers in the region to attend its 8th edition free of charge. Festival organisers want to highlight that these tickets are available to thank NHS workers and remove any financial barriers that might have prevented them from coming out and enjoying some live music, away from their high stress work environment. Those NHS workers who take up the offer will head to MADE Festival’s new home at Dunstall Park in Wolverhampton on Saturday 30th July, to enjoy a lineup which includes performances from AJ Tracey, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Andy C, Eats Everything, Pa Salieu, Ms Banks, Bru-C, Shy FX, Kings Of The Rollers, TQD, Prospa, Jaguar, A1 x J1 and many more. NHS workers just need to register at https://ticketsforgood.org/nhs/ and select MADE Festival as their event of choice.
The festival sector was one of the worst hit by the pandemic and MADE organisers are aware of the monumental (ongoing) efforts made by NHS workers to help get everyone back out there and enjoying live music again. Without their efforts the live music sector would be in even worse shape after Covid. The partnership with Tickets For Good is a way to thank NHS workers for their efforts but also to help them as they have helped the rest of us. Music has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental health, as has socialising with friends and other people. MADE Festival provides a perfect platform for NHS workers to relax, dance and enjoy great music in a friendly atmosphere.
MADE Festival director, Pete Jordan, said, “We are really pleased to be working with Tickets For Good to provide free tickets for NHS workers this year. I hope that all the tickets are taken up and if Tickets For Good have demand for more then we’ll try and find a way to give them more. The festival industry owes NHS workers a great deal for their hard work and dedication in getting us through the pandemic. I want to make sure that they are aware of this offer, and how to take advantage of it. We look forward to welcoming some real heroes to Dunstall Park on 30th July.”
Tickets For Good founder Steve Rimmer said, “We were delighted to partner with MADE, allowing NHS workers to access this amazing event. Our recent Impact Award from TheTicketingBusiness would not be possible without quality events partnering with in this way. Big thanks to all at MADE for making this possible.”
Tickets for MADE Festival are free to NHS workers who register. The only cost is a small booking fee from Tickets For Good to cover overheads. NHS workers are invited to apply at https://ticketsforgood.org/nhs/.
