More highlights of this years’ Stockton International Riverside Festival programme have just been announced.
Once again Parish Gardens will be transformed with the return of the Spiegel Tent, a beautiful, magical venue which provides the perfect backdrop to a packed programme of fantastic entertainment.
Daytime will feature a free family-friendly line up programmed by festival favourites The Chipolatas – the full programme will be available online soon so please check back for updates.
The evening line up has been announced with two incredible, not-to-be missed shows!
The Dirty Brothers
Thursday, 4 to Sunday, 7 August (Thurs-Sat 8.30pm, Sun 8.45pm)
Ticket price: £10 (Over 16s only)
Shep, Pat and Gordo, a.k.a The Dirty Brothers, are the kamikaze clown princes of sideshow, mixing silent comedy and sketches with some eye-watering stunts.
As well as sword-swallowing, razor blades, piercing and the like, they dance blindfolded and in bare feet across a maze of mousetraps, lift a car battery by their nipples and, being Australians, tuck into a plate of live maggots. And it’s all done for laughs! A hit at the Edinburgh and Sydney Festivals, The Dark Party is one invite you won’t want to turn down.
“With swords, staple guns, singing saws and power tools, it’s like watching huge, tattooed toddlers play with very dangerous things.”
Tickets available from ARC box office on 01642 525199 or book online.
Brutus Gold Love Train
Friday, 5 and Saturday, 6 Aug at 10pm
Ticket price: £12 (Over 18s only)
A Tees Valley legend for more than 20 years, Brutus Gold’s Love Train is the original Disco Inferno, replete with an amazing cast of characters, hot moves and hotter grooves. This is your chance to dress up, get down, do the Hustle and win the prize for the night’s best dancer, and all in the name of D.I.S.C.O.
Tickets available from ARC box office on 01642 525199 or book online.
