Punk pioneers Iggy & The Stooges, Plan B, and the hotly-tipped Brother are amongst the names confirmed for this year’s Evolution festival.
Taking place on the 28th and 29th May, the event is held at various venues across Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead, and will also feature performances from the likes of Billy Bragg, Two Door Cinema Club and Smoke Fairies.
Speaking of the event, director Jim Mawdsley talked of the growing status of Evolution over recent years. “We are continuing to build this event into a major music festival for the North of England,” he said.
“We have been working solidly since September to pull this line up together and it is without doubt the strongest and most varied to date. I’d say ‘see you at the front’ but I’m personally spoilt for choice and haven’t a clue what stage I’ll be at when!”
Tickets, which are on sale now, are priced at £35 for the weekend, or £25 each day.
