Kubix Festival confirms Vengaboys, East 17, N-Trance, Ultra Nate and more for huge pop party

Over the past few years the likes of Ronan Keating, Outhere Brothers, B*Witched and 911 have entertained at the event and now Knox Festival has confirmed some huge 90s pop acts for 2020.

The massive two-day festival, which made its debut at Herrington Park in Sunderland in 2018, will return to the same location next summer and what a line-up organisers have put together for opening night on Friday, July 10.

Headlining the Friday night pop and dance party will be the job of Vengaboys, the late 90s act responsible for massive hits like We Like To Party, Kiss When The Sun Don't Shine and Boom Boom Boom Boom.

They are joined on the Kubix bill by a host of other well-known acts from the era. Also appearing, although now with just one original member, are East 17 - the lads that gave us songs like Around The World, House of Love, Thunder and legendary Christmas number 1 Stay Another Day and Free singer Ultra Nate.

Remember early 90s dance smash Mr Vain? Well the act responsible for that - Culture Beat - are also lined up to entertain, alongside The Key The Secret hitmakers Urban Cookie Collective and N-Trance, the group who gave us one of the best hands-in-the-air dance anthems of all time, Set You Free.

The evening's Big Top Stage will feature appearances from Things Can Only Get Better charttoppers D:Ream, long double act Smoove & Turrell, Blow Monkeys, Vanderbilt and a DJ set from Alistair Whitehead.

How to get tickets

They are priced £22 and available online from the Kubix website.

New for 2020 there is also be the option to book Weekend Camping tickets.

Saturday, July 11's line-up is topped by The Levellers and also features Cast, New Model Army, The Wedding Present and The Farm.
