A rebrand of the popular Sunniside Live festival, the new event will see a host of top acts take to the stage in Sunniside Gardens on July 7 and 9, from 12noon each day. And here’s just some of the acts you can enjoy over the course of the festival.
Tickets are still available for the event – and we also have a code for free tickets here.
