Tipping Point Live have today revealed its full line-up with Merseyside songsmith Bill Ryder Jones, Newcastle’s alt popster Martha Hill, Garage Indie Rockers FEVA, and South Shields born experimental indie starlet Brooke Bentham topping the bill.
Taking place for its launch year across two days – on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd June 2019 – the region’s new multi-genre, family friendly champion for the musical stars of tomorrow will take over Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley this summer and will welcome over 40 artists across nine of some of the city’s most iconic venues including The Cluny, Tyne Bar, and The Cumberland Arms.
The festival – co-curated by Generator and the likes of international record producer Bernard Butler, Maximo Park’s Paul Smith and The Futureheads’ Barry Hyde – will see an epic day of industry events and live music on the Saturday and will also welcome an ambitious opening party on the Friday with a full programme of live and interactive delights confirmed.
Reacting to today’s line-up announcement, Tipping Point Live Festival Organiser, Charlie Dancer, said: “We are all hugely excited to bring you the first Tipping Point Live Festival artist line-up, with two of my personal favourites in songwriting genius Bill Ryder Jones and South Shields legend-in-waiting Brooke Bentham!
“After running Evolution Emerging Festival for 10 years (with myself directly involved for the last three years), we at Generator felt it was time to refresh our approach and bring something a little different to Newcastle’s cultural hotspot, the Ouseburn Valley.
“Tipping Point Live will play host to a right eclectic mix; we’ve got Ambient, we’ve got Experimental jazz, we’ve got Art-Rock, Garage Indie, Folk, Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop, Bass Music, Grime, Disco – it’s going to be the most expansive display of what the North-East has under our sleeves the region has ever seen!”
