James Bay is the first headline artist announced for the 12th annual Mouth of the Tyne Festival which takes place from Thursday 7th to Sunday 10th July 2016.

Tickets for his show will be priced at £35 and go on sale at 9am on Friday 29th January and eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then.

The festival of music and the performing arts takes place across four main locations: Tynemouth Priory and Castle, Playhouse Whitley Bay, Tynemouth Front Street and Tynemouth Station.

Besides nationally-known bands there is a very popular free jazz stage at the end of Front Street, which will be a blaze of colour and activity throughout the festival, and includes a programme of street performers, parades and the children’s pageant.

The Playhouse Whitley Bay will play host to live bands and musicians and Tynemouth Metro Station hosts a takeover for the duration, with dance troupes and a wide variety of musicians and performers.

There will also be a designated ‘Early Years’ area for children featuring a storytelling, music and craft activities.

Local food and craft stalls will line the station’s platform offering a delicious array of locally-sourced produce and decorative work.

In addition to live music, Mouth of the Tyne Festival celebrates the performing arts and encourages family participation.
