NORTH-East band Lindisfarne will kick-off their 30-date national tour at The Gala Theatre.
The band, chart-toppers in the Seventies, will play the 500-seater venue next Wednesday.
The band's first visit to The Gala during their national tour last year was a sell-out.
"It was a good night and it was an excellent venue," said front man Billy Mitchell.
The band has enjoyed an increase in popularity in recent years with albums Here Comes the Neighbourhood and Promenade. Virgin EMI has repackaged the compilation CD The Very Best of Lindisfarne, adding four tracks including two recorded in the Eighties but never released.
A DVD with live performances and interviews for a forthcoming Tyne Tees TV documentary will be released next year.
Only a few tickets are left for the Gala Theatre gig. The tour ends at Newcastle on November 1.
