A new festival called In Between Days will make its debut in Newcastle this summer, it has been announced, with a first wave of bands including Happy Mondays, Ian Brown and The Wombats already revealed.
The outdoor music festival will play out in Times Square over three days from May 26-28 - the Friday to Sunday of the Bank Holiday weekend - and organisers Tokyo Live say many more acts are yet to be announced. There's a potential surprise for the Bank Holiday Monday too and tickets are set to go on sale next Wednesday, March 29.
Aaron Mellor, event organiser and owner of Tokyo Live and city centre club Digital, says of the chosen location: “Centre for Life and Digital make a perfect inner city festival site and we are very proud to be able to stage this incredible event in the Newcastle we all love.” The music will kick off on the Friday with Australian indie band DMA’s - whose visit will follow the release of their new album, How Many Dream - and joining the first day bill will be local heroes Andrew Cushin and Liam Fender plus indie rockers Lottery Winners and London-born but Geordie-bred Lizzie Esau.
