Evolution festival confirms the programme for the Jumpin’ Hot shows that will take place as a prelude to the North East’s musical extravaganza.  Having already announced a killer line up that includes performances from the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Deadmau5, special guests Maximo Park, Noah and the Whale, Rizzle Kicks, Miles Kane and many more, Evolution are proud to continue their longstanding relationship with Jumpin’ Hot, a collective on a mission to promote the best country, blues, rock n’ roll, reggae and ska throughout the UK.

Jumpin Hot have programmed some exceptional talent across two venues on the days preceding Evolution and have secured some very special acts to appear in Gateshead.

Terry Reid has been described at the most soulful British vocalist ever by The Independent and his legendary heartbreaking vocals and guitar playing has made him a revered character on the live circuit for over four decades. 

Blues tinged retro Americana comes courtesy of The Toy Hearts whose music is steeped in the soul of the deep south.  Support on this show comes from folk legend Bridie Jackson.

These acts appear on Friday 1^st June and on Saturday 2^nd June another incredible line up sees a rare performance from Del Amitri founder Justin Currie.  Justin’s music is dominated by strong imagery and storytelling, powerful yet understated vocals and a sound that, whilst firmly rooted in nineties pop-rock, translates beautifully into modern, urban ballads.  

Idaho foursome Hillfolk Noir’s sound has been filtered through half a century of folk, country and rock n’ roll and fed by family history and an affinity for acoustic mountain music.  Just back from a successful US tour, Buffalo Skinners the zydefolk & roll band from Scarborough bring their Felice Bros like music to Gateshead.

Evolution festival continues to bring the best artists to the North East to perform in front of the UK’s most rapturous festival audience.  At £25 for a day ticket or £35 for the weekend, Evolution continues its tradition of providing an amazing show for an unbeatable price.

Alongside hosting some of the biggest acts on the planet Evolution will once again introduce the crowd to a wealth of emerging local talent on the third stage - partnered with Generator the UK’s leading Music Development Agency this stage gives local talent a chance to get their foot on the ladder and play to the biggest crowd of their careers to date
