00:00 A festival's your kind of thing, well you mightn't have to travel very far if that's

00:07 what you're looking for. The annual Hardwick Festival is set to come to Hardwick Hall on

00:11 the 16th, 17th and 18th of August. Of the lengthy line-up, the headliners include pop

00:16 princess Becky Hill, rock band Snow Patrol and lead singer of the Verve, Richard Ashcroft.

00:21 There's even the option of camping and glamping at the 10th anniversary edition of this beloved

00:26 festival. If that's not up your street, then on Sunday, August 4th, Loosefest will be descending

00:32 on Newcastle's Town Moor. Now, last year's Loosefest was unexpectedly cancelled last

00:37 minute due to severe weather, but this year it promises to return with an exciting new

00:42 version of the event entitled the 90s Baby Festival, wherein visitors can party to all

00:47 their 90s favourites, including Ronan Keating, Peter Andre and Blue. If you're a 90s fan,

00:53 then here's another one curated just for you. The Notely 90s Festival is to be held in Leazes

00:59 Park on Saturday 24th August. Here, ticket holders can party to Bewitched, to Bass Hunter,

01:05 to Gareth Gates, to Darren Styles. Retro drinks and retro skating can also be expected.

01:12 Next up, how does a line-up of Busted, Sam Ryder, The Vengaboys and Cascada sound? Good?

01:18 Well, maybe Harington Park's Cubix Festival is the place to be. Set to take place on the

01:23 13th July, the 6th annual Cubix Festival is set to bring an array of live music, bars,

01:29 food stalls, attractions and rides. Now, if that wasn't enough for you, maybe you'd like

01:35 to set your sights towards Tynemouth. There, from the 11th to the 14th July, the Mouth

01:41 of the Tyne Festival will be held. Ocean Coliseum, known for hits like the Riverboat Song and

01:47 The Day We Caught the Train, will be performing on the 11th, whilst Rick Astley will play

01:52 on the Friday. And, for a little added extra, visitors can watch Heather Small play on Sunday

01:58 the 14th.
