The new Gateways Festival is coming to Skipton in August and has released its final lineup including Razorlight and the Buzzcocks.

The event is set to be held in Aireville Park, Skipton, on August 6-8.

This evening the festival has announced the second wave of artists. These include the well-known band Buzzcocks, Andrew Cushin and King No-one.

Artists such as Razorlight, Feeder, Scouting for Girls and Lightning Seeds have already been announced.



The weekend event is also hosting an outdoor cinema on Friday August 6. The choice of movies has been left up to the festival's social media followers to vote on.

The festival was due to go ahead last year but was able to reschedule for this year with the same lineup.

The festival is branding itself as an event to be shared between families and friends with a funfair, street food, bar and stalls also planned.

An adult weekend ticket is £65 and a children's weekend ticket is £35, plus booking fee.
