A line-up including global star Sean Paul and fellow rapper Tinie Tempah plus other big names such as Chase & Status, Patrick Topping and Craig David is set rock Newcastle when LooseFest returns this summer.

The festival billed as the region's biggest music event - which last year switched to a new outdoor city centre location on Newcastle's Town Moor - has announced it will be back on the August 5-6 weekend and it's going to be huge. Its biggest line-up to date also includes fellow headliners R&B star Craig David with his TS5 show; drum and bass favourites Chase & Status and Newcastle's Patrick Topping who will be hosting one of the festival stages under his Trick imprint.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, February 17 for the festival whose giant site this time will feature a total of five music 'arenas' - each with its own look and host, covering everything from house, DnB and disco to techno, RnB and dance classics - as well as a street food village, a funfair and a range of bars and food vendors. Organisers will be expecting around 30,000 music fans a day - from across the UK - during the run.
