Iggy & the Stooges, and Plan B, to headline Evolution 2011

Iggy & the Stooges, and Plan B will headline Newcastle's Evolution Music Festival.

Headlining the Main Stage on Saturday will be Iggy & the Stooges whose raw power and incendiary live performances are the stuff of rock n' roll legend.

Iggy Pop said, "I've always liked the North. I like the bands too. I'm ready to get down and rave like a Geordie. I'm really happy we get a chance to play at Evolution. We are all deranged spitfires. Do you wanna dance?"

Sunday's Main Stage headliner will be Plan B, his critically and commercially successful album 'The Defamation Of Stricktland Banks' showcased his street wise swagger and cutting edge lyrics and he's sure to have the masses singing along to his razor sharp, soul tinged anthems.

More line-up details are expected sometime in the new year.

Tickets are priced at £35 for the weekend, or £25 for a day ticket, go on sale today, Tuesday 30th November, at Midday.
