Full line-up released for return of South Shields Fake Festival

The South Shields Fake Festival comes to the town’s Bents Park on Saturday, August 27.

A full line-up has been released as the countdown to the gig, at the Sea Road park, continues.

Doors will open at 12.30pm, with Crying Lions taking to the stage at 1.15pm.

They’ll be followed by Born Villains at 2.05pm and Outlander at 3.05pm.

The Middens will take to the stage at 4.05pm, with Stone Roses tribute, The Total Stone Roses up at 5.15pm.

The penultimate performance will come from Blondie tribute, Blondied, at 7pm, and Kasabian tribute band, Kazabian, will kick off the festival’s closing set at 8.45pm.

Bec Evans, licensee for the event, said: “The atmosphere last year was brilliant in South Shields, it was one of the best Fake Festivals we’ve ever done so we’re really looking forward to coming back later this month.

“These really are top tribute bands that play all over the UK, Europe and even places like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, so that’s what sets us apart from other events.”
