THE final line-up for the tfm Live event this Sunday at the Stockton Riverside Festival has been announced.

Gareth Gates, Girls Aloud, Mark Owen, Busted, Junior Senior, Lemonescent, and Kym Marsh will all be taking part in the live concert as part of the annual festival.

Managing Director of 96.6TFM Cath Ellington, said: "We promised to bring the very biggest names in pop to Stockton and we have more than achieved this.

"It is going to be a fabulous day out for everyone and an opportunity to see some of the country's favourite stars live."

The event is being sponsored by Connexions Tees Valley in conjunction with Stockton Borough Council.

The gates will open at 2pm and there will be five-and-a-half hours of build-up until the main acts start at 7.30pm with Busted and finish at about 9pm with Gareth Gates.

On the day, an audience member will win the opportunity to go backstage and meet one of the stars in a special interactive text competition which is only open for people at the concert.

Tickets are on sale now, priced £5 with concessions for family groups, and are available from TFM reception, Stockton Tourist Information centre, which is in the library in Church Road, and HMV in Middlesbrough and Darlington. On the day they will be sold from Stockton Tourist Information centre, until 3pm and from ticket offices at both entrances to the venue.

The two entrances are on the dual carriageway at Tower Street and at the barrier across Thistle Green and Bishop car park. There will be no access from the High Street.

Ticket holders may be searched before entering the event and are asked not to bring alcohol, glass bottles, chairs, tables, barbecues or stoves.
