With a line-up of talent tipped for major success, the 4th edition of Newcastle-upon-Tyne's indoor multi-venue Hit the North, which takes place on Sunday 3rd May 2020 (a bank holiday weekend), has announced its first wave of acts.

Speaking about the first lineup announcement, Festival Director Steve Davis said "It feels great to be back! In a region where continuous cuts are being made to cultural projects, Hit The North is a vital platform for connecting emerging acts with new music fans, and also showcases Newcastle's richness as a musical city in terms of its venues and home-grown artists. Hit The North will return in 2020 and we hope the festival will continue to boost the profile of Newcastle and the wider North East region as a vibrant hub for new music".
