Thousands of music fans will be flocking to the coast this Friday for the early-awaited return of Mouth of the Tyne festival after a two-year absence due to Covid.
Following the cancellation last year of the summer festival - which already had been rescheduled from the previous year due to the pandemic - the music showcase will be back in Tynemouth for three days of entertainment. While local favourites Lighthouse Family are now off the line-up, having announced a split, the first night headliner Keane are guaranteed to kick off the party mood with style.
Mouth of the Tyne Festival always attracts tens of thousands of people over its run and this year's July 8-10 event - the 16th - is set to prove as popular as ever, as acts take to the stage against the dramatic backdrop of Tynemouth Priory and Castle. And festival-goers can expect the whole coastal village to embrace the party atmosphere with bars and restaurants vying for custom.
