TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR SILVER ANNIVERSARY
• Legendary rockers Status Quo top the 2015 live music bill
• World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival to celebrate 25 years
• New races join fans’ favourites on packed racing programme
• Special ‘Silver Sunday’ at Silverstone
With the award-winning
Silverstone Classic celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, next
summer’s ‘Rocking and Racing’ extravaganza will be the biggest and best
yet.
Highlighting the special significance of this Silver Anniversary, it is
announced today (????day) – as tickets go on sale – that legendary
rockers Status Quo will top the live music line-up at the milestone 2015
Silverstone Classic (24-26 July).
As tradition now dictates, the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing
Festival will also feature an unrivalled number of exciting and
evocative races starring more than eight decades of glorious motor sport
history. All the established favourites will return including Group C
prototypes, Super Tourers, 90s GT Legends and the FIA Masters Historic
F1 Championship alongside two eye-catching new grids to be revealed in
the New Year.
Massive car club displays and record-breaking on-track parades have also
become part of the Classic’s spiraling success – and will be again in
2015. The extravaganza’s third day has been aptly designated ‘Silver
Sunday at Silverstone’ and all owners of silver cars – whether old or
new – will be invited to join in the festivities.
To mark the occasion, a special Silver ticket type has been introduced
which includes a special in-field parking area plus a sparkling Silver
Jubilee cavalcade around the famous Grand Prix circuit.
“We want to paint Silverstone silver!” exclaimed Event Director, Nick
Wigley. “The Classic just gets bigger and bigger every year but, even by
those sky rocketing standards, next year is going to be something very,
very special. We are really excited to have Status Quo pumping out
their hits on Saturday evening and we have lots more fantastic plans to
ensure we celebrate this amazing anniversary in fitting style.”
With an unprecedented 64 British hit singles, Status Quo are one of the
UK’s best loved bands. Their first chart success came in 1968 and they
are still going strong today having just performed an acclaimed acoustic
concert for BBC Radio 2 at The Roundhouse in London.
Early Bird tickets are now available until 31 March and offer
significant savings of up to 15 per cent. Adult prices start at just £34
and stick to the Classic’s widely praised ‘access all areas’ policy,
thus providing admission to both race paddocks, trackside grandstands
and the live music concerts.
Saturday tickets – including a full race programme and Status Quo – also
offer exceptional value. They are currently on sale for £55 rising to
£62 if purchased after the Early Bird offer expires. Additional
discounts are available to members of registered car clubs displaying
their classics on the in-field and, fittingly, owners of silver cars can
join the special ‘Silver Sunday’ track parade and associated festive
activities for only an extra £25.
Full details of all tickets (which must be purchased in advance) – as
well as hospitality packages and weekend festival camping – can be found
on the official www.silverstoneclassic.com website which has been re-launched as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations.
