The North East music scene is going from strength to strength as St James' Park and Stadium of Light look back at a successful summer of concerts, with none other than Sam Fender, Beyonce and P!nk all gracing the stages.
But away from the huge stadium gigs lies a number of impressive festivals ready to showcase the talent of the region. One such event is Hardwick Festival, and organisers have pulled out all the stops for its 2023 edition, which marks 10 years since the event's formation.
Among the headliners of the weekend-long event in August are indie rock greats Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and The Kooks, while former Spice Girl Melanie C and The Vaccines are also lined up to wow the crowds at the six-stage festival.
