Get ready to show your 'Wild Heart' and grab your tickets now!

The Vamps, aka Brad Simpson, Connor Ball, Tristan Evans, and James McVey, had never really had the chance to take time before the pandemic struck.

Since their platinum-selling debut album, Meet The Vamps, crashed into the UK charts at number 2 in 2014, the band has been holding onto a dream-like rush of albums (five in total, including the chart-topping Cherry Blossom, their first number 1 album Night & Day (Night Edition), featuring the Matoma-assisted global smash All Night), singles (eight top 40 hits including five top 10s), and world tours.

The band are celebrating 10 years since its formation and are currently touring their 10 Year Anniversary Greatest Hits Arena show worldwide.

The concert field is divided into three separate spectator areas. Each ticket holder may only access the corresponding zone specified on their ticket choice. Gold is located closest to the stage with Bronze located at the rear of the field. Please see the concert field layout map for details.

Accessibility information, about our concert events:

We want our Wild Live concerts to be enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Given the style of our concerts, the audience typically either stands, or sits on picnic blankets. We encourage everyone to bring the champers and hampers, along with your own portable seating / small fold-out chairs if required.

The site we use for the event is a green field – it’s a grass surface and doesn’t have any pathways. Mostly, the area is reasonably flat and even, as it’s regularly used for car parking. Nevertheless, please consider the ground conditions, and the possible impact of the changeable British weather, when deciding what facilities or equipment you wish to bring.

Our guests with mobility issues will have admission to the concert field 10 minutes before general entry.

The Wildlife Park opened a new entrance in summer 2021. It is approximately a 25-minute walk from the new main entrance and car parks to the concert field. Guests with a blue badge will be able to park adjacent to the concert field in the stage side car park. Guests with mobility issues who do not have a blue badge are recommended to purchase a Stage Parking pass.

Accessible Tickets - There will be a seated viewing area immediately in front of the stage (the “Accessible Area”) available for those who need to remain seated during the show and for whom the standard viewing areas are not suitable (for example. wheelchair users). There are limited tickets available for the Accessible Area, and once the Accessible Area is full, we will not be able to provide access for further guests.  Please note that if you purchase an Accessible Area ticket, you will be required to remain seated throughout the performance. To reserve a space in the Accessible Area, subject to availability, please call Yorkshire Wildlife Park 01302 535057 during opening hours to speak with a member of our contact centre team.

Due to the limited space, guests using the Accessible Area may be accompanied by one other person only (who will also be required to remain seated throughout the performance to avoid obstructing the view for the other guests in the Accessible Area). Proof of disability will be required to provide you with access to the Accessible Area.

An accessible toilet will be located close by, and there will be a large screen which will be showing close-ups of the acts as they perform.

Disabled Concession Tickets - If you are disabled, you can purchase a disabled concession ticket which will allow you access to the Bronze, Silver or Gold areas depending on the type of ticket you have purchased.  Please note that a disabled concession ticket does not provide you with access to the Accessible Area. To sit in the Accessible Area, you will need to purchase an Accessible Ticket.

Proof of disability will also be required for those who purchase a disabled concession ticket.

Customers are advised that strobe and other lighting effects may be used during the performance.
