Early bird and Tier 1 tickets have already sold out, and there are already a limited number of Tier 2 weekend adult tickets priced £127 available.

This year’s festival near Stevenage was headlined by Orbital, Clean Bandit and Grace Jones.

So after a landmark year in the stunning Hertfordshire countryside, festival founder Alex Trenchard and the Standon Calling team are rounding out the year with a true festive-blowout.

Promising a night of undeniable entertainment, it’s a tinsel-tastic extravaganza from start to finish.
