Heartbreak Remedy, Kin, Mojo Rising, the Postcard Band, the Reet Hot Chili Peppers and Sugarspun will all take to the main stage.

Phil Ewing, bass player for Mojo Rising, said: "We love playing Northbound Festival. It's one of the highlights of our year. There's great music, great people and a great atmosphere."

A number of local acts will also perform on the acoustic stage.

There will be a bar from Tractor Shed Brewery and children's activities with Rainbow Jelly Productions, as well as face painting and food stalls.

The University of Cumbria Clearing Bus will also be there.

At 9pm the fun will move to the Bush where Mojo Rising will perform. Fletcher Christian and Hunters Bar will also host after parties.

The free event is organised by CN Events in partnership with Allerdale council.

Councillor Len Davies, said: "Anything which attracts people to Cockermouth is a welcome boost to the economy."

Anna Chippendale, event manager, said: "We can't wait to bring Northbound Street Party back to Cockermouth for the third year.

"It's one of the highlights in our event calendar and a brilliant chance to showcase the county's amazing talent as well as involving the bars and pubs in the town for our after parties.

"We're really lucky to have Allerdale Borough Council supporting yet another fantastic free event in the region."
