The North East’s biggest three-day festival has added a staggering 50 more acts to its line-up, making it one of the most exciting music events in the region this year. Hardwick Festival – which this year has been extended and will run from Friday 18 August to Sunday 20 August – has unveiled the latest big names who will appear across the weekend.

They include singer songwriter, Freya Riding -who rose to prominence with her hit, Lost Without You,- who will appear on the main stage on Saturday, alongside headliners The Vaccines and The Kooks.
Organisers have also revealed that award winners Scouting for Girls will take to the Treehouse Arena Stage that same night, performing some of their hits such as She’s So Lovely and Heartbeat, which have helped the band sell more than two million records.
Their performance will be the climax of a packed day which will also see sessions by From The Jam, led by original Jam member, Bruce Foxton.
The Treehouse Arena has an equally strong line up for Sunday 20 August, headlined by Chicago-based Ten City who will be flying in especially for their performance.
