The festival will also feature panels on the impact of race tensions and life beyond the riots that shook the region as well as an opening with special guests celebrating the North East in all its glory from the proud history of the railways to the stories of local people driving things forward, and everything else that makes the North East special.
Other huge names from across the region will be making appearances, including local polititians and businesspeople.
