They will play on day one of the weekend music concert, taking place over Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August in Newcastle, Co. Down, as part of Down District Council's Festival of Flight.
The young band, (pictured) who broke into the UK charts with their song Ever So Shy, will be among top chart and local acts scheduled to perform at the Playing Fields, Castlewellan Road. The event will also feature an air display from the Red Arrows and a full programme of family entertainment.
