Stereophonics will be joining Noel Gallagher and Foals on the headlining bill for this year’s eagerly anticipated event.

Led by the enigmatic Kelly Jones, one of the UK’s most prolific singer-songwriters, the band will perform on the festival’s new site of Exhibition Park on Sunday 26th May.

Reacting to today’s announcement, This is Tomorrow Festival Organiser Steve Davis, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to bring Stereophonics to what is a huge outdoor event for Newcastle.

“They are without a doubt one of the biggest and most consistent bands of the last twenty years and we can’t wait for their stunning live show to head to This is Tomorrow.

“We’ve tried our best to deliver one of the strongest festival line-ups the region has ever seen and they don’t come much bigger than Stereophonics.!”

This is Tomorrow Festival – which last year welcomed over 30,000 music fans through its gates at Spillers Wharf to take in performances from the likes of Catfish and The Bottlemen – is back once again, this time taking place at its new home of Exhibition Park on Newcastle’s Town Moor.

SSD Concerts have said the event, a first of its kind on Exhibition Park, promises to be the largest and most forward-thinking live musical gathering the city has ever witnessed and will take place across the late May Bank Holiday Weekend.

Foals will lead the charge on Friday 24th May followed by the ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher on Saturday 25th May. And now, Stereophonics will complete the list of heavyweight headliners with their performance bringing the event to a stunning close on Sunday 26th May.
