The Amazons, Dream Wife and The Wytches are on the second wave of artists to be confirmed for Hit The North.
With DMA’s, Fickle Friends, The Magic Gang and Working Men’s Club some of those already signed up for performances around Newcastle on Sunday, May 3rd, festival director Steve Davis is looking forward to this year’s instalment.
“It feels great to be back,” he says. “In a region where continuous cuts are being made to cultural projects, Hit The North is a vital platform for connecting emerging acts with new music fans, and also showcases Newcastle’s richness as a musical city in terms of its venues and home-grown artists.”
“Hit The North returns in 2020 and we hope the festival will continue to boost the profile of Newcastle and the wider North East region as a vibrant hub for new music.”
