This is Tomorrow festival organiser Steve Davis, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to bring Stereophonics to what is a huge outdoor event for Newcastle. They are without a doubt one of the biggest and most consistent bands of the last twenty years and we can’t wait for their stunning live show to head to This is Tomorrow.

“We’ve tried our best to deliver one of the strongest festival line-ups the region has ever seen and they don’t come much bigger than Stereophonics.”

The festival, which last year welcomed over 30,000 music fans through its gates at its former home of Spillers Wharf to take in performances from the likes of Catfish and The Bottlemen, will take place across the late May Bank Holiday Weekend.

Foals will kick off the festival on Friday, May 24 followed by the ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher on Saturday, May 25. And now, Stereophonics will complete the list of heavyweight headliners with their performance bringing the event to a close on Sunday, May 26.
