Paul Weller to play the Mouth of the Tyne Festival reports the Chronicle Live


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.
