Plans for Sunderland festival to go ahead with Kaiser Chiefs and Deacon Blue headlining
Sunderland City Council has confirmed that plans to host the inaugural Lamplight Festival, due to take place in Mowbray Park on August 7 and 8 this year, are proceeding as scheduled.
The council is working with Public Health and other partners to ensure that safety remains a priority and any possible COVID-19 restrictions still in place are adhered to.
Kaiser Chiefs and Deacon Blue are set to headline the event in Mowbray Park in the city centre. Any tickets bought last year are still valid and more tickets are still on sale - organisers say they're anticipating a sell-out event.
