About This Event
The Fake Festival returns to Percy Park RFC in Tynemouth for a full day of live tribute band performances under a giant marquee. Since 2007, Fake Festivals have brought professional-quality tribute acts to communities across the UK, and the Tynemouth edition is one of the most popular in the North East. The 2026 line-up features six acts: Flash (Queen), Ultimate Green Day, New2 (U2), Blondied (Blondie), Kings of Lyon (Kings of Leon), and Fore Fighters (Foo Fighters). The marquee creates a proper festival atmosphere rain or shine, with a fast-serve bar inside and outdoor food vendors. Gates open at 11:45am with music running through to 11pm — a genuinely full day out for music fans. The outdoor garden area is perfect for families earlier in the day, with the atmosphere building as the evening sets in.
