Punk rockers Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes will be headlining a new festival in Newcastle later this year.
Risefest, described as a festival made by music lovers for music lovers, is being launched by the team behind alternative music club night Rise and will be upping the ante in the city this autumn with a playlist over two stages in Northumbria University Students Union.
Founders Richard Thompson, Christopher Davidson and Ashley Horne will be building upon the fan base they have attracted since the start of the Rise club night in 2016, which is aimed at offering a haven for music fans who feel lost within the mainstream music circuit.
