SUMMER SOUNDS Set to Bring Music, Food and Family Fun to Teesside
The popular festival will take place on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July 2026 at Guisborough Rugby Club, where thousands of visitors are expected to attend across the two-day event. Over the years, Summer Sounds has become a major event in the local calendar, attracting large crowds who come to enjoy a festival atmosphere filled with music, food and entertainment.
Big tribute line-up
Saturday’s programme, titled “Rock & Pop Legends,” will feature tribute performances celebrating some of the world’s most famous artists. Festival-goers can expect shows inspired by stars such as Coldplay, Robbie Williams, Sam Fender, Lewis Capaldi, Bon Jovi, Elton John and Tina Turner. A new 1970s and 1980s disco tent will also be part of the event, giving visitors even more music to enjoy throughout the evening.
Sunday will focus on a Family Fun Day, offering a more relaxed programme with entertainment aimed at younger audiences. The line-up will include pop-themed tribute acts inspired by performers such as Taylor Swift and Eminem, alongside other chart-inspired performances.
More than just music
The festival promises far more than live music. Visitors will be able to explore street food stalls, cocktail bars, festival markets and a funfair, creating a lively festival atmosphere throughout the weekend.
There will also be plenty for families, including children’s entertainment, inflatables, character appearances and donkey rides, making the event suitable for all ages.
A fireworks finale and roaming entertainers are expected to add to the atmosphere as crowds gather to celebrate the summer weekend.
Possible live coverage
For those unable to attend in person, organisers have said the event may be livestreamed by News Now UK, allowing people to watch performances and highlights online.
With its mix of live music, family entertainment and festival-style food and drink, Summer Sounds is set to deliver another exciting weekend for the Tees Valley community. Organisers are encouraging people to book early as demand for tickets continues to grow each year. 🎶☀️
