FULL LINE UP INFO HERE | TICKETS ON SALE HERE
A Stone’s Throw Festival has today revealed the first wave of acts for their third and biggest event to date, taking place on Sunday May 25th 2025 within the musical hotbed of North Shields on Newcastle’s stunning coastline.
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.
Debuting in 2022, A Stone’s Throw’s first two events have featured 100+ artists, swarming Newcastle's coastline and forming the first North East coastal music trail between Tynemouth and North Shields, with the likes of Sundara Karma, Sam Tompkins, Pip Blom, Berwyn, Lauren Hibberd and Heidi Curtis all on the bill. Transforming coffee shops, event warehouses, CBD dispensaries, and working men's clubs into fully fledged music venues for the day, the festival also collaborated with Go North East and North Tyneside Council to provide an open top double decker bus service, transporting wristband holders from venue to venue, whilst live brass bands performed on the upper deck.
Now taking place solely in North Shields, A Stone’s Throw will be run in association with the council-led scheme NS 800 (a year-long calendar of exciting events that celebrates North Shields past, present and future), as part of the town’s 800th year celebrations. The Go North East bus service will once again be included in the ticket price, and will run an even quicker service between the 5 participating venues The Exchange 1856, King Street Social Club, Salt Market Social, Three Tanners Bank and The Engine Room, ensuring the festival is primed to provide another refreshing, unique and memorable music festival experience.
Speaking ahead of their first major lineup announcement (more announcements coming soon), founder Anthony Thompson (Notion Live Events) stated: “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.
