Combining the thrills and spills of the resort’s rides with the buzz of live music, Thorpe Park is hoping to crank up the volume on its gate receipts this summer through new music event Island Beats.
The event features ticketed headline acts on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as free live music from emerging artists. Tickets are £25 to see a headliner concert or just an extra £10 on a standard ticket allows guests to have the winning combination of both rollercoasters and live music.
Acts that have performed so far have included The Vamps, who were a sell-out success, and Ella Eyre, who drew in crowds despite a deluge of rain. Confirmed acts still to perform include Professor Green (7 August), DJ Fresh (15 August) and Conor Maynard (21 August).
Since becoming partners with events company Showcase Live in 2014, Thorpe Park has hosted other music shows prior to Island Beats, but on a smaller scale. With such well-known and youth-orientated acts performing throughout the summer holidays this year, Island Beats is proving an interesting way to reach new audiences and drive business at the theme park.
Thorpe Park has also teamed up with hair salon chain Headmasters for Island Beats, with guests able to have their hair styled for free on Fridays and Saturdays – ensuring the style-conscious visitors won’t have to endure post-rollercoaster hair disasters for too long.
