According to the official facebook page, James is going to play at the Mouth of the Tyne Festival (also known as MOTfest) on July 10! This festival is a weekend of world-class street entertainment, live music and special performances on both sides of the river Tyne, in Tyne and Wear.

Update: Other sites have announced the news, and James will be the headline act of the festival.

Commenting on his forthcoming performance, James said: “I can’t wait to perform again in the North East, especially at a special place like Tynemouth Priory and Castle. I’ve heard there’s some great beaches nearby and the festival draws big crowds so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Update 2: Diane Birch will be opening for James at this festival, as well as at Delamere Forest Park.
