Lining up to be at Kubix Festival
RONAN KEATING TO PLAY SECOND DAY OF MUSIC EVENT AT HERRINGTON COUNTRY PARK
Sunderland’s newest music event, Kubix Festival, has announced its second day lineup, and the supporting cast for opening–day headliner Ronan Keating.
As the Echo revealed last Friday, the former Boyzone singer will headline the event at Herrington Country Park on Friday, August 10.
He’ll be performing Boyzone classics, as well as some of his solo hits, from a career that’s spanned 62million album sales and nine UK No.1s.
Now the organisers have revealed the supporting lineup for the show: B*Witched, East 17 and Right Said Fred, with one more act still to be announced. The organisers have announced most of the acts who will be appearing on the second day of the festival, on Saturday, August 11.
It will feature The Boomtown Rats, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Peter Hook & The Light, The Undertones and The Blockheads.
The headliners for the second day still have to be confirmed, along with two other acts.
A spokesman for Kubix Festival said: “We’re proud to present our Saturday concept, bringing you some of the biggest and best talent from the classic alternative and indie scenes.
“Prepare to hear some of the greatest songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s from our incredible line-up, performing on a huge festival stage at Herrington Country Park.
“Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats will deliver the incredible live experience that has thrilled fans each and every time over their illustrious career.
“Fun Lovin’ Criminals will show you why they’re one of the must see live bands in the world.
“Peter Hook is the legendary founding member of Joy Division and New Order, fresh from his sell-out tour across the UK.
“The Undertones bring anthemic 70s and 80s postpunk, including classics like Teenage Kicks, Jimmy Jimmy and Here Comes the Summer. The Blockheads, featuring some of the finest musicians in the world, will be bringing all the classics from the late, great, Ian Dury, to the North East.
“And the real surprise, despite the already incredible line-up of artists announced, there’s two more brilliant bands to be added, plus a very exciting headliner, all to be announced in January.”
