Rufus Wainwright, has been added to the billing for the Mouth of the Tyne Festival which takes place in Tynemouth and Whitley Bay on the North East Coast this July.

The folk singer’s concert at the Playhouse Whitley Bay on July 8th kicks off five days of events. One of the biggest highlights of the festival has to be British music legend Paul Heaton, famous for his work with The Housemartins performing alongside Jacqui Abbott who accompanied him as part of the Beautiful South.

The Specials, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lisbon and Jack Savoretti also make up a considerably punchy line up for a festival that’s now in its eleventh year.

The Mouth of the Tyne festival celebrates everything that’s great about real, acoustic sound. In addition to live music, the Festival celebrates the performing arts and encourages family participation.  It runs across a number of destinations in Tynemouth and Whitley Bay commencing on the 8th July. Tickets are available here.
