A Stone’s Throw festival headliners announced
A Stone's Throw Festival has revealed the first wave of acts for Sunday 25 May.
The festival will be headlined by post-punk powerhouses Shame, the summer lineup also features Bristol alt-folk riser Katy J Pearson, Australian psych-fuzz favourites Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Newcastle’s very own Du Blonde, thrilling rockers Man/Woman/Chainsaw and indie stalwarts Swim Deep, alongside a host of the North East’s finest talent.
The Go North East bus service will be included in the ticket price, and will run between the five participating venues: The Exchange 1856, King Street Social Club, Salt Market Social, Three Tanners Bank and The Engine Room.
Founder Anthony Thompson (Notion Live Events) said: “Now in its third instalment, A Stone's Throw has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2022.
“2025 will see the event hone in on North Shields as part of the town’s 800th year celebrations and we're buzzing to be bringing such a high calibre set of acts to venues which typically find themselves under utilised.
“Seeing the local community support the event has been awesome but to shine a light on the local area, by welcoming international attendees has been immensely encouraging. We look forward to continuing the growth of the event in 2025!”
Performing at this year’s third edition will be Shame, Katy J Pearson, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Du Blonde, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Swim Deep, Brògeal, ERNIE, Home Counties, Keyside, Lizzie Esau, Amelia Coburn, Callinsick, Cortney Dixon, False Heads, Humour, Look Terrified, Make Friends, Pearly Gates, Projector, Samxemma, Scustin, Slate, Sun King, The Manatees, Tight Collar, White Flowers, and more.
