dayer last weekend.

Show stealers Glass Diamonds showed us what Hull is made of:
bold, bright sounds a top of clever key-work. If tongue-in-cheek drama had a baby
with impressive vocals – and the christening was held in the church of Freddie
Mercury – it would produce Glass Diamonds’ 30-minute slot that blew the crowd away.

Co-headliners Picnic lived up to their reputation of never
disappointing, delivering bouncy, jazz infused pop. If you could bottle front
woman Robyn Walker’s stage presence and energy, you’d have a pocket-sized
powerhouse enough to rival any pop queen.

Finally, Polo did what Polo do best. Closing the show with their
timeless, chic synth beats, delivering painfully cool performances of their
latest release ‘Death of Me’ and equally as brilliant
‘Soak’, the Leeds hailing trio were an irresistible close to an absolute
belter of an event.

This was EXACTLY what Newcastle needed in 2019.
