🌊 Waves festival 2024! Thank you ❤️

Another year, another brilliant Waves festival. Thanks to everyone who turned out from early doors to support! Please join us in thanking all of the bands, venues, sponsors, promoters, crew, volunteers and everyone else behind the scenes for making Waves a possibility once again.

👂 We’re all ears on feedback so please let us know if you had a good day, what you’d like to see for next year and who your favourite bands were (we’ll try and bring them back to Sunderland in 2025 👀).

A massive thankyou to everyone who supported our Ripples all-dayer on Saturday, I think we managed to capture the vibe of Waves on a smaller scaller just nicely with some amazing sets from some of the coolest new bands. Thanks to all the bands who travelled to play for us, all the staff and crew and to the music lovers who watched emerging artists all day.

The biggest shout out to @wearenameuk, @the_peacock_sunderland, @thebunkercic & Matty Remover for their huge support with backline and equipment on Saturday, wouldn't have been possible without you.

Hopefully we can make Waves return in it's full form in 2026! by @waves_sunderland

Going strong! @lottiewillismusic, @leazes.official, @endcredits.uk & @critch._ bringing the vibes.

@theempirepolice are back in Sunderland next Saturday for Ripples. Expect high energy indie bangers from the lads, they were a pleasure last time and we can’t wait to see them again.

Part of a little gig swap with our good friend @patrickgoslingmusic by @waves_sunderland

Excited to have one of Sunderland’s finest @patrickgoslingmusic joining us for Ripples next Saturday. Pat’s record he released this year is amazing, he’s a really good songwriter and his live shows are great.

You may have caught him on the pitch at the Stadium Of Light, at his sold out Pop Recs headline show, his Stockton Calling festival appearance or various other shows already this year.

@snayx_uk are brining the party to Sunderland next week for our Ripples all-dayer. Check out the video from their most recent tour, expect energetic punk chaos.

Catch them with lots of other exciting artists on 15th November. Secure your ticket from independentsunderland.com by @waves_sunderland

Really excited to have @leazes.official joining us for Ripples next weekend. They’re absolutely flying at the minute with their super catchy up-beat indie tracks, selling out headline shows super rapid in Newcastle they are certainly one to watch.

🎫 Catch them and many others, secure your ticket from independentsunderland.com (link in bio) by @waves_sunderland

Expect energetic whiplash riffs paired with roaring choruses from Brighton’s @ellisdband who we’re really excited to have back in Sunderland next month.

Ellis and the band supported Bilk a few weeks back and his explosive blend of glam-punk, psychedelia and goth influences blew us away. If you were at the show then you know, if you weren’t then get to know.
