Closer to home, in 2014 Simple Minds performed in the Pastures on Saturday, August 16, supported by Toploader and Ella Janes.
The concert came two years after the Jessie J gig, which was hit by heavy rain and left the Pastures in such a state that it was left fallow in 2015.
Take a look at pictures from the previous Pastures concerts: Jessie J in 2012, Part 1 and Part 2; Status Quo and 10cc in 2011, Gallery 1 and Gallery 2; Jools Holland and Alison Moyet in 2010; Music of Queen concert in 2009, Part 1 and Part 2; Jools Holland's second Alnwick gig in 2008; the brilliant Magic of the 80s concert in 2007; and Jools Holland’s first visit to Alnwick in 2006, the first in the series.
