With a music career that has spanned over two decades, from The Libertines and Babyshambles to his solo career, Northumberland-born Doherty is one of the most recognisable faces of the modern British indie scene.

Playing mainstage on August 30, Peter Doherty and his new band The Puta Madres will be heading to the North East coast to showcase their blend of psychedelic rock, post-punk revival and garage rock music. Other acts announced for the Friday night line-up include Gentleman’s Dub Club, Dutty Moonshine Big Band and Louise Distras – who has been hailed as “the most exciting voice in UK punk right now”

With Ocean Colour Scene already confirmed for the Saturday night headline slot at the three day summer music festival, Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres join them at the top of the bill for what is gearing up to be the biggest line-up the independent festival has secured in its five years to date.

This year’s festival also play host to a number of leading DJs, including multi-award-winning hip hop DJ and producer DJ Yoda, Slipmatt, and Goldie - who is well known for his pioneering role in the 1990s UK jungle, drum and bass scene.

The homegrown Northumberland festival, which prides itself on championing local talent, will also see another strong line up of North East acts including Lindisfarne, Smoove & Turrell, House of the Black Gardenia, Portraits, HATi and The National Anthems to name a few.

Featuring prominently once again will be the BBC Music Introducing, helping to put the spotlight on local, unsigned talent with a stage takeover on the Saturday afternoon.

As well as a fantastic music line up, festival-goers can expect more comedy, more workshops, plus more holistic and well-being activities in the Shanti Bee healing area.
