Tickets have gone on sale this morning (Monday) for the Island’s biggest annual music event.

The Manx Telecom Bay Festival takes place from June 17 to 19 and will feature two stages, as well as a fair, circus, stunt show and comedians.

Organisers say this year will see new branding and a new look and feel to the festival, which will be promoted throughout the UK by chain store HMV.

The big names released by festival organisers so far include Peter Andre and Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance show, along with stars from Britain’s Got Talent and the X-Factor.

A comedy night will feature household names such as Jo Brand, Alan Carr and Andy Parsons, while there’s a treat in store for dance music fans as the Ministry of Sound will host a huge night on the Saturday.

Yet to be unveiled by organisers are the headline acts for Saturday and Sunday night – those are expected to be named in the coming months.

You can buy tickets online this morning from the festival’s website: bayfestival.im
