Mouth of the Tyne Festival – Tynemouth
Few festival locations can compete with Tynemouth Priory and Castle. Perched dramatically above the sea, Mouth of the Tyne Festival turns one of the North East’s most iconic landmarks into an open-air concert venue every summer. Previous years have welcomed everyone from pop legends to orchestras and indie favourites, with the sea breeze and sunset doing a lot of heavy lifting for the atmosphere.
The best part? You can spend the afternoon mooching around Tynemouth Market, grabbing fish and chips on Front Street or paddleboarding in the sea before heading up to the gig. Festival-going, but make it coastal chic. This year’s lineup includes The K’s, Ministry of Sound Classical, Self Esteem, and many more.
