North East Live Returns for 2014 with a fantastic line up...

This morning we were pleased to announce that the highly successful North East Live would return in 2014 with an absolutely fantastic line up.

Sunderland Live work closely with the Stadium of Light and SAFC supporting the concerts which come to the city and all the team are already looking forward to the summer.

Headlining next year’s North East Live will be Jessie J, supported by Jason Derulo, Rizzle Kicks, The Saturdays, Union J and The Vamps. More acts are set to be announced soon so keep your ears peeled for further announcements!

In the four years since the first show at the Stadium of Light was staged, over 750,000 music lovers have flocked to 15 concerts featuring a range of world-renowned stars. It is estimated that the economy of the city and wider region has benefitted to the tune of over £50million.

We asked our Chief Operating Officer, Chris Alexander what he thought about North East Live and he said: “We are delighted to welcome the return of North East Live after the success of this year’s event which created a fantastic vibe in Sunderland.

“It’s really important that we work closely with Sunderland AFC and other key partners to help bring the maximum possible benefit to the city as ten thousands of people attend and we’re already looking forward to the summer season. ”

Designed to suit music fans of all ages, the concert will take place on Sunday June 22nd and demand for tickets, which are priced from just £25, is expected to be high. Tickets will go on sale at 10:00am on Saturday 14th December. Here at Sunderland Live, we think they make excellent Christmas presents!
