Top names including The Zutons, Noah & The Whale, Frank Turner and South London rapper Master Shortie were among over 100 acts who played at what both The Sunday Times and Daily Telegraph had already described as one of the ‘top 100’ festivals of the summer.

Speaking as Middlesbrough still buzzed into the night, Graham Ramsay of Ten Feet Tall said: “This has been the best Music Live we’ve ever had! To see almost 50,000 people here today has just been phenomenal.
“The atmosphere has just been amazing. The audience have been smiling, jumping around and having fun all day. As an event organiser you can’t ask for more.

“All the stages have been packed to capacity virtually all day, even the weather’s been kind, and there’s just been a great feeling to everything. We’ve had an absolutely fantastic day.”

It’s the biggest crowd we’ve ever had, the largest number of stages and, with the Warm-Up events we did in the lead-up to the big day, it’s just been the best Music Live we’ve had so far. Planning for next year starts here!
