Cast your minds back to April and you’ll remember how excited I was for the return of Stockton Calling, a brilliant daylong music festival that takes place across numerous venues in Stockton centre every year. One of the teams behind the festival, KU Promotions, decided to create another all-day event called The Gathering Sounds which takes place in just a few days on Saturday 24th September, and I’m here to tell you all about it!
Festival season is well within reach and for me it all starts THIS weekend with the return of Stockton Calling!
I’m getting so excited for the daylong festival that I’ve had the SC playlist on repeat these last couple of weeks getting myself hyped for it. It’s been so nice to as well to discover new artists that I’ve never heard in readiness for the festival too. There are over 80 artists performing across 11 venues throughout the day and, although it would be awesome to, sadly you can’t see everyone. I’ll definitely be getting the steps in on Saturday as I run about town trying to catch as many people as I can though!
With that in mind, here’s a list of who I would like to see at the festival.
The countdown to Stockton Calling is officially ON!
Four weeks today on the 16th of April, the daylong music festival returns after a 2 year hiatus (thanks to bloody Covid!) and the organisers have gone all out to bring us an absolute stellar line up for their comeback!
I have so many amazing memories from years gone by at the festival, but if you’ve not heard of Stockton Calling then let me enlighten you…
I’ve been to Parklife 4 years in a row now. The first was as a punter, and the last three I have worked as part of the artist liaison team…and I absolutely LOVE it! Running around and helping out behind the scenes is so much fun, and I can’t wait to get back this year.
