GIRL band sensations, Little Mix, are to play an outdoor gig in the North-East this summer.

The group will play the Emirates Riverside, Chester-le-Street, home of Durham County Cricket Club on Saturday, July 15.

Little Mix are playing a run of UK summer shows from May to July as part of the group's 'Summer Shout Out' tour.

Kicking off at Wirral Live on Sunday, May 21, the run of 13 live shows ends with the gig in Durham.

Little Mix said: “We are so excited to be up here in the North-East and cannot wait to get on that stage in Durham! Outdoor shows are so much fun and we love seeing the fans joining in with the songs.

"It’ll be a great night, it always it when we perform outdoors, and we will be singing our hearts out to our biggest tunes. Come and join us!”

The Northern Echo:

Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, CEO of promoter LHG Live, said: “We are excited to be working with both Solo and Durham County Cricket Club again, and to have the opportunity to promote Little Mix, who are the most exciting girl band in the industry right now.

"Their energy and passion shines through in every performance and we are certain that fans at Durham will be in for a real treat!”

David Harker, chief executive of Durham County Cricket Club said: “We are continuously building our evening entertainment offerings here at the Club, working with leading artists of a variety of music genres to ensure we appeal to a wide audience.

"Our summer concerts are the perfect complement to our busy cricket schedule and really do showcase our venue and facilities. To have Little Mix here performing is an absolute dream!"
