7 North East gigs you must see this week: February 20

Holy Moly and the Crackers, pictured, are sharing a double headline bill at The Cluny in Newcastle with Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra. Not bad for a tenner.

Double-Grammy-winning US singer LeAnn Rimes is at The Sage Gateshead. You're one of the lucky ones if you've got a ticket - it's sold out

Reformed boy band Busted will be wheeling out cheesy pop classics like Air Hostess at the O2 Academy in Newcastle. Or if you're more hip, De La Soul are at Northumbria University.

Melancholy indie-rockers White Lies return to the O2 Academy in Newcastle to play their latest album Friends, alongside some old favourites. If that's not indie enough for you, The Fall are at The Boilershop.

Stadium rockers Kings Of Leon visit the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle for the first time in nine years. They're promoting their seventh studio album, Walls, but will they dare NOT play Sex On Fire?

If you fancy some Easy Love, British DJ, producer and remixer Sigala is at the O2 Academy on the final night of his UK live tour.

Teenage South Shields singer Eve Simpson is making quite a name for herself on the local gig circuit. You can see what all the fuss is about at The Mining Institute in Newcastle.
