A music festival billed as the biggest in the North East has unveiled its full plans for summer - with a longer run - while local favourite Andrew Cushin says he can't wait to play his own part in the event, with what is set to be be his third slot on the trot.
The Newcastle talent will be taking to the stage at Hardwick Festival in County Durham for the third year running this summer, in a line-up featuring a mix of indie rock stars, big dance music DJs and emerging names - headlined by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and The Kooks. The festival will be back on its Sedgefield site from August 18-20, a day longer than normal, with acts playing across six festival stages and still leaving plenty room for tents, campervans and glamping.
Other big names on the bill include Hacienda Classical, The Vaccines, Spice Girls' Melanie C, The Smiths' Johnny Marr and Craig Charles’ Funk & Soul Club, while fellow locals sharing the spotlight with Cushin will be The Pale White, Liam Fender, Tom A Smith and The Redroom. Cushin said: "It's an absolute pleasure to be returning to Hardwick again this year.
