MCFLY and The Wanted are to headline this year's Mouth of the Tyne Festival, it was announced today.

The chart-topping bands will play in the grounds of Tynemouth Priory and Castle on July 13 and 14 respectively.

They follow in the footsteps of the likes of Scouting For Girls, Alexandra Burke, The Script, James Morrison and Beverley Knight, who have all performed at the festival in the past.

The multi award-winning McFly, boasting current King of the Jungle Dougie Poynter and Strictly champ Harry Judd, return to the North East after their Up Close and Personal UK tour, which is at the O2 Academy Newcastle in April.

Dougie, Harry, Danny and Tom will select their favourite hits from over 15 Top Ten singles and five Top 20 albums at their show on Friday July 13.

Harry is currently wowing the crowds on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle.

One of Britain's biggest pop bands, The Wanted, have had four Top 5 singles including two number ones.

They will return to Tyneside, following the gig at the Metro Radio Arena later this month.

Jay, Max, Nathan, Siva and Tom have been viewed 30 million times on YouTube and sold over 400,000 copies of their debut album.

They will play the Mouth of the Tyne on Saturday, July 14.

Tickets on sale from tomorrow.

Greg the grill mic:
There's loads of rumours flying around on Tumblr, Twitter and other McFly fanpages after Greg appeared on Tom's Twitter.



This doesn't necessarilly mean it's album artwork, it could also be used for the tour, or even for something else... Nothing's confirmed just yet! It'll probably be best to stop taking things and run away with them. You can't pull your own conclusions. According to the messages online, loads of fans are freaking out and think that McFly is making a second Radio:ACTIVE album. Please don't believe everything you read. Tom and Danny posted the photo. That's it. It could be a design for basically everything.
