ROCK bands and DJs will descend on a North-East park this weekend for a new music festival.

Teesside Vibe will take place on Sunday, at Preston Park, near Eaglescliffe, Stockton, featuring a line-up of local bands and DJs, including Adam Jackman, Danny Whitehead, and Andi Smith.

There will be something for everyone - with music including folk, blues, indie and techno - at the park's showground between noon and 10pm.

The day kicks off with sets from Brown Eyes Blue, and acoustic blues trio the Michael James Blues Band.

Later, Boro and England winger Stewart Downing could also be making an appearance, showing his DJ talents.

Children are welcome, and there will be stalls, games, rides, military vehicles and refreshments.

The Keys bar, in Yarm, which is supporting the event, will be providing a bar area, complete with a Pimms tent.

There will be a marquee big enough for about 3,000 people, if it rains.

One of the organisers, Dean Cruft, said: "The whole idea was to give local musicians, who wouldn't normally have the chance to play in front of a large crowd, the opportunity to play their music to a wide audience."

Tickets are £7 at the door and £5 in advance from The Keys, of Yarm High Street; Toast, of Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough; The Regent Street Sandwich Shop, in Stockton, or from Vicky on 01642-757774. Under-14s pay £2.
