Rag N’ Bone Man has been announced as the latest headliner for Newcastle’s In The Park Festival 2024.
Set to take place later this spring, the 2024 instalment will see the brand new festival take place in Leazes Park on May Bank Holiday weekend.
Now, British singer Rag N’ Bone Man has been added to the line-up – set to take to the Newcastle stage as one of the headline acts for this year’s edition.
Having burst onto the scene in 2016 with his hit track ‘Human’, the singer – whose real name is Rory Charles Graham – has since gone on to win multiple BRIT Awards and top the UK albums charts with his 2017 debut album. He joins previously announced headliner Tom Grennan as a headline artist for In The Park 2024.
