Sunday night headliners James lead the acts confirmed for Stockton Weekender happening from Friday 3rd until Sunday 5th August 2012.

The Manchester band, fronted by Tim Booth, formed in the early '80s but shot to prominence in the '90s with a string of decade defining hits. Fans can expect anthems such as 'Sit Down', 'Just Like Fred Astaire', 'Sometimes' and 'She's a Star'. eFestivals had a chat about festivals with bassist and longest-serving member, Jim Glennie, online in the next few days.

Also appearing at Stockton Riverside Park are Simon and Oscar (Ocean Colour Scene).

Now in it's second year the event will host special guests We Are Scientists, and The Go! Team on Saturday with the main headliner still to be announced.

2012 will also see the return of a Second Stage to the festival site, which will play host to a mix of local talent and high profile acts, as well as the Tees Active Cabaret Tent which will host comedy, music and family entertainment.
