The Zutons have today been confirmed as headliners for the 10th anniversary of Middlesbrough Music Live.

The Zutons
Middlesbrough Music Live is a one day annual FREE festival which takes place in the heart of Middlesbrough held on Sunday 7th June and this year celebrating its 10th Anninversary, run by Middlesbrough Council and Ten Feet Tall.

Graham Ramsay of Ten Feet Tall said, "We're chuffed to bits to have The Zutons confirmed for our 10th anniversary. They're the perfect headliner for us – one of those bands who can pull out hit after hit, and appeal to people right across the board. A ton of great pop songs, and a great live show... what more do you need? We're still working on the rest of the line-up, because we deliberately leave it late so that we can get a good look at all the new bands who are starting to launch themselves at this time of year. We love the feeling of being able to hear a brand new band on the radio one day and book them the next. It doesn't get fresher than that!"
