UB40 are Friday night’s headliners, with the Lightning Seeds and Happy Mondays also performing, while Reef, Ash and Stiff Little Fingers are amongst the names on the Saturday bill before Shed Seven will close off the weekend of live music.
Republica will open the main stage on the second day with plenty of Sunderland fans hoping to hear Ready To Go – a favourite with crowds at the Stadium of Light, and rightly so!
