THREE new acts have been added to the line-up for the region’s biggest pop festival.

Chart-topper Katy B, girl group Neon Jungle and newcomers Rixton have been added to the bill of the North-East Live festival.

They join headliners Jessie J and The Saturdays for the show taking place at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 22.

Mercury Prize-nominated Katy B, whose Little Red album reached Number One in the UK charts last week, said: "I’m looking forward to playing such a huge outdoor show. This will definitely be a summer highlight for me."

Tickets for the concert are available from www.uklive.co.uk priced £25.
