Organisers of a new music festival that delighted Geordies when it brought Oasis legend Noel Gallagher to Newcastle have hinted that the event will make a welcome return to the city.
Rock N Roll Circus entertained 20,000 people with music and circus performances when it was held for the first time on Newcastle's Town Moor. The two-day event, which took place on June 9 and June 11, saw indie icons Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Charlatans, The Libertines and DMA's perform on the huge stage.
Newcastle-born singer Andrew Cushin, 22, who signed a record deal with the Strap Originals label owned by Libertines' Pete Doherty, joined the star-studded line-up. Crowds were also blown away by circus acts including acrobats, fire performers, and a pair of aerial artists who performed inside the Big Top.
