A decade
of music at Tyneside’s coast will be marked by a performance from the Modfather
himself.
Veteran
musician Paul Weller will take to the stage as this year’s headline act at the
Mouth of the Tyne Festival at Tynemouth Priory and Castle.
The Jam
and Style Council front man is the first artist to be announced by organisers
of the outdoor event which takes place on Saturday July 12.
Elected
Mayor of North Tyneside, Norma Redfearn, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Paul
Weller to our tenth anniversary festival and can’t wait to see him in action –
it’s a great way to celebrate ten years of live music and entertainment at one
of North Tyneside’s most iconic locations.”
A hugely
successful solo artist since the early 1990s, Paul Weller, 55, is expected to
play a wide-range of tracks from across his 11 top-ten albums.
Previous
big name acts at the event include The Script, James Morrison, Beverley Knight,
Scouting For Girls, McFly, The Human League and The Wanted.
It is
organised by North Tyneside Council and supported by Port of Tyne, Kier and
TyneMet College.
Tickets
cost £40 each plus a booking fee and go on sale from www.ticketmaster.co.uk at 9am on Thursday morning.
