Evolution 08

Evolution is without doubt the biggest music festival in North East England and is growing bigger and bigger every year.

Highlights this year include blues, country and roots with the Jumpin’ Hot Club gigs at the Cluny, Bullet Proof 3-D Disco at the Carling Academy and a special Domino Records night at The Sage Gateshead.

However it is the May Bank Holiday Monday which really rocks the city. 60,000 people descended on to the spectacular quayside location in 2007 to see some of the best acts in the world.

For 2008, due to high demand there will be a charge of £3 for festival goers to attend, with under 11s* free. The event brings appearances from The Streets, Kate Nash, Reverend and The Makers, Duffy, CSS, New Young Pony Club and many more making this year the strongest and most high-profile line up yet.
*under 14s must be accompanied by an adult.
