How to get tickets to see Craig David in Rochester Castle Gardens on July 11

Tickets to see Craig David in Rochester will go on general sale this Wednesday.

The award-winning garage artist is replacing Jess Glynne, who has dropped out of performing in the Castle Gardens on July 11 due to ill health.

Popular act Craig David last appeared at the Medway outside venue two years ago - selling out both his shows.

Tickets to see Craig David cost £45 and will first be offered to those who already have Jess Glynne tickets, which cost £55.

Anyone wishing to transfer their tickets should apply to do so on Monday (July 1) and Tuesday (July 2). The difference will be refunded, say organisers, and new tickets issued.

A full refund or the option to transfer to a different night's performance are also open to people who had already snapped up tickets to see the Rather Be star on July 11.

Remaining tickets for Craig David will then go on general sale from 10am on Wednesday (July 3).

Medway Council made the announcement after last-minute negotiations with Craig David's management company.

Cllr Howard Doe, cabinet member for community services, said: “The Castle Concerts are a much-loved annual event and we are delighted to still be able to offer four nights of great entertainment this year.

"We are also thrilled to be welcoming Craig David back to the stage at Rochester Castle – he was incredibly popular when he joined us in 2017 and we are very much looking forward to his performance.”
