THE similiarities between Las Vegas and Newcastle might be few, but next year, the two will combine to bring a circus-style festival to the city centre - featuring some of the biggest names in British music.

Heralded as a fully immersive experience with a twist, this all-new touring concept will combine premier live entertainment with some of the biggest names in music, set to the backdrop of a circus tent.

Rock 'n' Roll Circus will have capacity for 10,000 people with 30 entertainers including tightrope walkers, jugglers, ring masters, fortune tellers, traditional circus food, and a Ferris Wheel - all under the roof of an impressive Big Top.
