Currently based in New York, Ash will be flying over especially for an exclusive performance at the festival. Graham Ramsay of Ten Feet Tall, who co-ordinate the festival on behalf of the council said, "We're over the moon to have secured Ash as headliners! They're one of those bands that even if you think you're not a big fan, as soon as you hear the hits, you cant stop singing along!"
This year sees the event showcase more hotly tipped acts such as Black Kids, Late Of The Pier, Sam Isaac, Natty, Noah and The Whale, The Infadels, Alphabeat and Parka already confirmed alongside one of the stars of last year's event, One Night Only, who make a return to this year's festival.
The rock stage will have a co-headlining partnership featuring the UK pop-punk band YouMeAtSix and American power-pop superstars Cartel alongside a supporting line-up including the up and coming UK acts Outcry Collective, Glamour Of The Kill, Slaves To Gravity and Beyond This Oath.
Last year's Middlesbrough Music Live saw a record crowd of over forty five thousand people attend the Centre Square which will once again be the focal point of Middlesbrough Music Live in 2008. "It's one of the finest town centre performance locations in Europe." says Middlesbrough Council's David Budd. "The success of the BBC's Proms In The Park last September emphasised what a wonderful site it is."
Now in its ninth year, Middlesbrough Music Live is a FREE one day festival organised and funded by Middlesbrough Council which takes places in the heart of Middlesbrough on Sunday 1st June 2008.
