Pop rock band The Magic Numbers will perform on the Saturday evening programme. The band, who originate from West London, will perform a set from their greatest hits over the last 20 years.
Also being announced is The Sherlocks, an indie rock band from South Yorkshire. The band consists of brothers, Kiaran & Brandon Crook along with Alex Procter & Trent Jackson. They will be performing tracks from their latest album People Like Me and You.
John Bramwell, Smooth and Turrell, Amelia Coburn, Elaine Palmer, James Leonard Hewitson, We Tibetans, Plaza and Redcar’s Dylan Cartlidge are also included.
Catherine Honey, event director for The Tall Ships Races Hartlepool 2024, said: “It feels great to be able to release further details about our live music programme for the event.
“We have now announced over 30 live music performers, who will take to the stage at the event and what is even more exciting is that there is still more to be announced in the coming weeks!
‘’Our event is one of the biggest free and unticketed events in the UK this year so come along with your family and friends and see these great performers in action! There’s no need to worry about tickets.”
The event will see two main stages. One stage will be located on Victoria Quay and the other at Navigation Point. A smaller stage is proposed for Jackson’s Landing.
There will also be an array of top-quality local musicians such as Holy Moly & The Crackers, The Young Un’s, She Drew The Gun, Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra and Hartlepool’s very own Michael Gallagher on stage as well as incredible fireworks and displays.
