Blyth Live festival returns with D-Ream, Bay City Rollers and family entertainment
The town council is putting the final touches to planning for this year’s highly anticipated Blyth Live festival.
Now a staple of the town’s summer calendar, Blyth Live is a free, family-friendly festival that attracts thousands of visitors each year with its mix of live music, street theatre, food and family entertainment.
Returning Saturday, June 20, at the Mermaid Car Park on Blyth’s stunning seafront, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, featuring headline performances by 90s dance icons D-Ream and a return for the Bay City Rollers.
The line-up also includes Naomi Smyth, a tribute act to Taylor Swift, alongside Groove Train, She the Show, Harriet Rose, Be Right Back and Rosie.
Community entertainment will be provided by Community Voices, Blyth Valley Samba and Linsey School of Dance.
Festival-goers can also enjoy a vibrant street theatre programme, a dedicated family activity area complete with a funfair, and an array of market stalls and quality food vendors serving up local and global cuisine.
With entertainment scheduled from 11am to 9pm, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Julie Summers, of Blyth Town Council, said: “The Blyth Live Festival is a real family-orientated festival and one of the highlights of the town’s events calendar.
“It continues to grow in popularity and scale, putting the town on the cultural map.”
