Also featuring at the festival, which is held in support of Water Aid, is Evolution Unsigned which will see 20 unsigned bands given the opportunity to perform at five of the best venues in Newcastle.

White Lies, the Maccabees, The View, Friendly Fires, Ladyhawke, and James Yuill also feature in the line-up, with further artists to be announced at a later date.
