Friday at Stockton Weekender will be FREE

Stockton Weekender organisers, Tees Music Alliance (TMA), have confirmed that the first day of the festival will be a FREE event.

This year's 3 day festival happening from Friday 3rd until Sunday 5th August 2012 will see tribute act Beatlemania headlining the free Friday. More acts are still to be announced but it's a guaranteed night of classic songs and sing-a-longs.

Festival Director, Paul Burns, said "There's a great mix of household names and up and coming acts in this years line up, which we’re really happy with. We're delighted to have got Jake Bugg, as he's causing a real buzz at the moment. Having such a strong local representation is really important and we couldn't be prouder of the talent that will be on show over the weekend."

Also appearing at Stockton Riverside Park are the previously announced The Pogues, James, We Are Scientists, The Go! Team, Simon & Oscar (Ocean Colour Scene Acoustic), Willy Mason, Hyde & Beast, Chased by Wolves, Alun Cochrane and The New Rope String Band. The full line up will be announced shortly.
