Here are 37 photos as Hartlepool crowds ‘riot’ at Soundwave Festival

Headlining the main stage at the festival was Yorkshire rock band, the Kaiser Chiefs, best known for their hits I Predict a Riot and Ruby.

British rock band Feeder, perhaps best known for their Buck Rogers hit, and British soul singer Heather Small – also known for her role as the lead singer of the 1990s band M People – also blasted their hits in front of a crowd of 5,000 people.
