North Tyneside Elected Mayor, Linda Arkley said “I am delighted to welcome James Morrison back to North Tyneside.
Securing another high calibre music act for a sixth consecutive year is testament to the event being established as one of the North’s favourite summer festivals.
Tourism is worth £243million to the borough’s economy and this festival is a key event in our calendar.”
