After a long music drought, South Tyneside Festival will be back this year with a summer-long programme that is out to make up for those two cancelled years due to the pandemic.
And fans have welcomed its newly-announced line-up which has managed to secure some of the names who had been due to perform - including Will Young, The South and Shalamar - and also adds something new to the mix.
The free festival will run from June until August with a packed programme of live music, entertainment and family events. In a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, the open-air Sunday Concerts in the Bents Park will be back with performances on July 10, 17, 24 and 31 .
