The pair have performed at many of the world’s most famous clubs, from Frankfurt’s Cocoon to London’s Ministry of Sound, and they are currently in the process of creating their fourth studio album.

Councillor Alan Kerr, lead member for for Culture and Leisure at South Tyneside Council, said the dance act are returning to the festival by popular demand after their performance at last year’s concert series prompted numerous requests to bring them back.

“I am delighted that we are going to get another chance to see Phats and Small at this summer’s festival,” he said.

“They will make a great addition to the line-up and I cannot wait to see what they do at this year’s event.”
