Discovery Festival 80's Calling

About Discovery Festival presents 80's Calling!

Discovery Festival presents 80's Calling! 2027 takes place at Darlington Mowden Park, Darlington, County Durham, as a rock/pop music event.

The official Darlington pages place the event at Darlington Mowden Park / Darlington Arena for 7–8 August 2027. The event finishes around 22:30 each day.

Eventim lists main admission tiers from £56.69 to £85.38, plus £0.00 carer tickets.

Lineup and Programme

2027 line-up information is listed by the official Darlington page as “Coming soon…”. No headline acts are confirmed in the verified data.

The programme is built around live music performances in a rock/pop and 1980s nostalgia format. Ticket options include standing, stadium seating and accessible viewing areas.

Who Is It For?

Under-16s are permitted only with an accompanying ticket-holding adult aged 18 or over. Eventim wording also states that those aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult 18+.

The audience is likely to be adult-leaning because the event is presented as 80's Calling and listed under rock/pop. Accessible toilets, an accessible viewing area with seating and carer ticket options are confirmed.

The Venue and Site

Darlington Mowden Park, also referred to as Darlington Arena, is the confirmed venue at Neasham Road, Darlington DL2 1DL.

The Darlington edition is held at Mowden Park / Darlington Arena rather than a camping site. The site is cashless, with card and mobile payments only, and includes bars, on-site food and drink, free drinking-water refill stations, accessible toilets and pre-booked blue-badge parking spaces.

The official site states that the festival has a no re-entry policy.
