Hit the North Festival organiser, Steve Davis, said: "The last Hit the North was a huge success from our point of view, all artists, venues and most importantly, the customers loved it. It was great to see music fans running around the City Centre heading freely in and out of venues and we're delighted it will make a return in 2018. We've got big hopes for this year's gathering and we're confident there'll be something for all new music fans to get their teeth into. It's going to be some festival and is not to be missed. Stay tuned more updates and announcements."
