Organisers of summer showcase LooseFest have announced its comeback dates for 2023 on the back of this year's success, which saw stars such as Tinchy Stryder revel in its party atmosphere.
The rapper was among a whopping 70-plus acts taking part in Newcastle 's giant festival - billed as the largest music festival ever in the North East - and has described the "good energy" which touched his heart. "I don't want to be on the stage," he said. "I want to be out there in the crowd!"
The event, which entertained around 60,000 fans over its July 30-31 on the Town Moor, has now confirmed it will be back at the same time next year. LooseFest 's 2023 run will be from July 29-30 and it says 20,000 people have already signed up to attend.
