Music fans are in for a summer blast of poptastic hits as South Tyneside Festival announces its mega line-up which iconic boybands, a TV star and an Abba tribute band.
Boyzlife - made up of former boyband favourites Brian McFadden of Westlife and Boyzone’s Keith Duffy - are set to draw the crowds during this July's free series of concerts in South Tyneside alongside singer and actor Jason Donovan and Björn Again, who have been performing Abba hits now for three decades. Another big name on the newly-revealed bill is The Vamps.
Organisers of the festival, which will run through August too, say this year's Sunday programme of outdoor concerts at Bents Park in South Shields, which attract up to 20,000 people each year, is one of the best yet. The first in the series will be The Vamps, with the British pop band kicking off the summer entertainment on July 9, along with guests Henry Moodie and The Waiters
