Preview: Evolution Weekender 2010

The line-up for Newcastle’s Evolution (taking place during the second May Bank Holiday, 30-31 May, at Gateshead Quayside) was announced last Friday, with some great bands lined up to perform at the weekender this year. Some major acts on the bill: Paolo Nutini (pictured above) and Delphic (one of our favourites) are just two of the headliners, and Ellie Goulding, the Horrors, Frankmusik, Tinchy Stryder, Calvin Harris, the Futureheads and Field Music are some other major names scheduled to perform. Bands TGTF have introduced to you including Frankie and the Heartstrings, Everything Everything, Egyptian Hip Hop and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool will also make appearances at the festival.

Tickets are a steal: £25 + handling for a weekend ticket and £17.50 + handling for a single day ticket. You can purchase tickets through TicketWeb. Check out the entire line-up after the cut.
