30 years of music is celebrated in Bents Park today at the South Tyneside Festival.

With Scouting for Girls, Roachford and The Fizz headlining.

The festivals end next Sunday, in memory of two Manchester Arena Attack victims.

South Shields couple Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry were 2 of 22 killed in the attack last year.

Councillor Alan Kerr, Deputy Leader of South Tyneside Council, with responsibility for Culture and Leisure, said:

“We have three incredible acts lined up for this, our third Sunday concert of the year, and with music from the 80s, 90s and noughties it will be a fantastic day out for all the family.
“Not only will we have the chance to remember the colourful, fun 1980s with The Fizz, we get to enjoy the incredible voice of Roachford who continues to stand the test of time and evolve.
“Add to that Scouting for Girls who our younger visitors will be very familiar with and we have everything in place for a wonderful afternoon of music at Bents Park.”
