Music festival still on as others axed by organiser

Event organisers WannaSee have announced that they are “unable to go on” - forcing the cancellation of a number of festivals, including Kubix at Herrington Park in Sunderland.

However, the Lindisfarne festival in Northumberland looks set to go ahead as planned this summer, albeit with different organisers at the helm.

For the last decade, Lindisfarne has been run at Beal Farm, near Berwick. Since it launched in 2015, the festival has been attracting bigger and bigger names, with artists like Ocean Colour Scene, Pete Doherty and De La Soul all playing it in the last six years, with a vast array of acts and creatives split across a number of different stages.

Acts announced on the Lindisfarne 2025 line-up include indie favourites Doves, '80s legends The Waterboys, ‘I Wish I Was a Punk-rocker’ singer Sandi Thom and world famous DJ Armen Van Helden.
