Metallica, Busted and Pet Shop Boys - Who Shields Gazette readers want to headline future Sunday Concerts
Shields Gazette readers have had their say on who they’d like to see headline the borough’s future Sunday Concerts.
With the Sunday Concerts at an end for another year, we’ve asked the Shields Gazette readers who they’d like to see take to the Bents Park stage in the future.
This year saw South Shields’ very own Joe McElderry, 80s legends ABC and the iconic DJ Judge Jules all headline the three dates at the seafront.
The concerts have seemed to be as popular as ever this year, with an estimated 23,000 people having attended over the course of the three Sundays.
Shields Gazette readers have set their sights high on future headliners, with some calling for the likes of Metallica and the Pet Shop Boys.
Others have called for a Sunday Concert to be dedicated to emerging local talent from across the North East.
This is what you have to say via the Shields Gazette Facebook page:
Chloë Lauren: “Local bands and artists! And maybe Metallica if they’re not busy?”
Carol Smith: “Why dont you have one Sunday just for all the vastly talented local bands?
“I’m sure that would be a sell out.”
Laura Kate Cavagan: “Go West! And get Nuromantica back to support please.”
Lisa Mcalinden: “Our local bands - one week to showcase our local talent: Nuromantica, Revelino, Two Metres Apart and anyone else as they are all good in our area.”
Simon Stafford: “Pet Shop Boys.”
Vicki Milburn: “I’d like to see a tribute festival like seen in some other areas - but also 90s artists.”
Katie Waugh: “Busted were amazing a few years back.”
Emmeline Fenn: “Andrew Cushin.”
Tina Defty: “The Wanted, Five, Human League, Madness, Bon Jovi tribute and Tony Hadley.”
