Frank Turner to play Mouth of the Tyne Festival

Festival Crowd Header

Three new shows have been confirmed for this summer's Mouth of the Tyne Festival.

Ronnie Spector, Frank Turner and The Temperance Movement will play Playhouse Whitley Bay as part of the popular event.

Ronnie Spector will provide a spectacular warm-up for the festival when she takes to the stage on Friday 17 June. British Blues rockers The Temperance Movement will perform on Thursday 7 July and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls play the festival for the second time on Saturday 9 July.

English folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner returns to the festival by popular demand and will perform songs from his six solo albums including his latest release 'Positive Songs for Negative People'.

The Temperance Movement, a British blues rock band, only formed in 2011 but have already supported rock royalty The Rolling Stones and have toured extensively in the US. They come to the Playhouse hot on the heels of the release of their second album 'White Bear'.

 

This announcement follows the news that North East music legend Bryan Ferry is to play the festival on Thursday 7 July and pop superstar Will Young will perform on Friday 8 July. A show by Grammy nominated James Bay on Saturday 9 July is already sold out.
