From the people who brought you Sunniside Live. Sunlun Calling 2023 is Sunderland’s newest music festival.

Craig Charles has been added to the line-up for the city centre’s new SunLun Calling 2023 festival.

It was announced in October that the event will replace the popular Sunniside Live, with three days of live music and entertainment in Sunniside Gardens on July 7-9, 2023.

Organisers have previously revealed the Sunday of the event will be a day of Sunderland music featuring headliners The Futureheads, as well as local talent such as Tom A.Smith, Smoove & Turrell, The Lake Poets, This Little Bird, Vandebilt, The Voyd and more performing.

Now, Craig is the first of the acts announced for the Friday of the event. Called Block Party, the opening day of the festival will feature a whole host of big name DJs.
