Live Like 85 Festival in Gateshead
Dig out your leg warmers and shoulder pads, Live Aid is back! Well not quite, but it’s the closest thing we’ll probably get to it. The geniuses at DJMS Festivals have come up with the concept of a Live Aid Tribute Act concert. Which means that we’ve got a host of cover bands replicating that epic day back in the summer of ’85 at Gateshead International Stadium on Saturday 30th July.
Here’s the line up so far (not necessarily in that order):
- Queen
- U2
- David Bowie
- Bryan Adams
- Dire Straits
- Status Quo
They’re not the real thing of course but not a bad substitute either. Having seen The Straits UK play at The Stone Trough in Gateshead a few weeks back I’m really excited to see these guys play again as they were fantastic. If the rest of the bands are of a similar calibre then we’re in for a real treat.
They’ll also be some Kroud Karaoke thrown in for good measure – which will be a great way to fill in the gaps between sets.
Tickets are still available, including last minute two-for-one tickets. So what are you waiting for – let’s go party like it’s 1985!!!!
