Full list of musical entertainment announced for The Hoppings in Newcastle

Europe’s largest travelling funfair will return to Newcastle’s Town Moor from June 16 until June 25, bringing 400 attractions for visitors to get involved in.

Along with the scores of rides, tests of skill and sideshows, The Hoppings will also see the return of Feast Street, which was launched last year to showcase the best street food.

Crow Events, organisers of The Hoppings, have already confirmed there will be more international cuisines to choose from and now, it will also play host to some of the North East’s popular music artists.

Live music will be available each night from 5pm to 9pm, except on Sundays where musicians will be on stage from 2pm to 6pm.

On the closing night (Sunday, June 25), live music will be running from 4pm to 6pm.

Ryan Crow, of Crow Events, is hoping that the live music package will further add to ‘The Hoppings experience’ for visitors.

He commented: “We had such a good response to Feast Street last year that we decided not just to do it again but to extend it and bring in the entertainment programme, which has something for everyone as well as showcasing North East talent.”
