The popular event is a celebration of tribute music, and features bands performing in the hip seaside town across the course of a Saturday afternoon and evening as well as plentiful food and drinks.

The 2025 event will take place, as in previous years, at Tynemouth's Percy Park rugby club, starting from 11.45am on Saturday, June 21.

It is held in a large marquee, with an outside garden area filled with food vendors and a bar. It's a perfect event for the hip seaside town that's a very popular summer day out destination for families.

Described by organisers Fake Festival Events as “a superb day of party-rocking awesomeness”, the festival promises iconic crowd-pleasing anthems from six professional-level tribute bands billed as “so good, they're almost the real deal”.

And 90s music fans will be in seventh heaven with the 2025 line-up pledging “Britpop classics, electric energy, fiery rhythms, grunge vibes and timeless tunes”.
