Seaton Reach in Seaton Carew prepares for a weekend of music and entertainment as two festivals return to Hartlepool’s seafront.
Major dance headliner and tribute acts draw crowds
Clubland By The Sea opens on Friday 31 July, bringing more than 50 dance artists to three stages on the seafront. The main-stage headline act is German group Cascada, known for the international hits Everytime We Touch and Evacuate The Dancefloor. Also on the bill is DJ Ben Nicky, recognised for tracks such as Oxygen and Keep Me High.
The following day, Saturday 1 August, sees the Open Jar Tribute Festival return with a line-up of tribute performances covering a wide range of big-name artists and bands. The programme includes tributes to Queen, Oasis, Coldplay, ABBA, Madness and more, staged across two platforms.
What attendees should know
Organisers say there will be food traders and fairground attractions on site. Event operators have also set a last entry time each day; on Saturday the stated final admission is 6pm, with the site closing at 11pm. A limited number of tickets remain for both events.
- Clubland By The Sea (31 July): three stages, headlined by Cascada; tickets from around £48 plus fees.
- Open Jar Tribute Festival (1 August): two stages featuring multiple tribute acts; tickets listed at approximately £34.50 before fees.
- Facilities on site will include food stalls and fairground rides.

The twin events are likely to bring additional visitors to Seaton Carew and will have implications for local transport, parking and businesses on the seafront. Those planning to attend should check the organisers’ website for remaining ticket availability and any last-minute information, including entry requirements and site maps.
With family-friendly attractions alongside headline performances, the weekend promises a mix of dance music and nostalgic tribute acts aimed at a broad audience across Hartlepool and the wider North East.
