A huge music festival in Sunderland has announced the full line-up of acts as it prepares to take over venues across the city centre.
The highly-anticipated Waves Festival is returning to Sunderland on November 5, with six of the city's favourite venues playing host to some of the best and brightest emerging artists. The all-day, multi-venue festival returns following a hugely successful launch event last year.
Sunderland's newest venue, The Fire Station, will act as the main stage for the one-dayer alongside five other popular music haunts including Independent, The Peacock, The Ship Isis, The Bunker and Live Lounge. In addition, the festival has announced a brand new BBC Introducing stage which will showcase some of the best talent in the North East.
