Extra acts have been added to the line-up for this summer’s final Sunday concert in South Tyneside.

The closing show of this year’s Summer Festival at Bents Park will take place on August 2 and is being headlined by DJ Judge Jules, who will deliver a high-energy set of dance classics, supported by a live band and singers.

South Tyneside Council has now confirmed two new additions to the line-up: electronic duo Phats and Small and UK garage act Sweet Female Attitude.

Phats and Small are known for their crowd-pleasing performances at previous editions of the festival, while Sweet Female Attitude, best known for their hit single Flowers, will be making their Bents Park debut.

Councillor Stan Wildhirt, the Mayor of South Tyneside, said: "The addition of two fantastic acts means this is shaping up to be a truly standout finale to the Sunday Concerts.

"Phats and Small are a huge crowd favourite and bring a brilliant party atmosphere, while we’re delighted to welcome Sweet Female Attitude to the festival for the first time.

"With Judge Jules headlining, it promises to be an amazing afternoon, packed with feel-good favourites that audiences of all ages can enjoy."

Other performers include Ultrabeat and a selection of yet-to-be-announced local artists.
