Preview: Evolution Weekender 2011

The line-up for Newcastle’s Evolution (taking place during the second May Bank Holiday, 28-29 May, at Gateshead Quayside) was announced yesterday, with some great bands lined up to perform at the weekender this year. Some major acts on the bill: Saturday headliners Iggy Pop and the Stooges and Sunday headliner Plan B (pictured above), and TGTF favourites Two Door Cinema Club, Fenech-Soler and Detroit Social Club. Acts TGTF have introduced to you including cockandbullkid and Delta Maid will also make appearances at the festival.
Considering what some of the biggies are charging this year, tickets to Evolution are a pretty good deal: £35 + handling for a weekend ticket and £25 + handling for a single day ticket. You can purchase tickets through TicketWeb. Check out the entire line-up after the cut.
