South Tyneside acts set for two-night Hebburn music festival

A festival with ten local bands performing will take place this weekend in Hebburn.

While some of the world’s biggest stars will be heading to Sunderland this weekend for Radio One’s Big Weekend, a Hebburn bar is preparing for a weekend festival of its own.
