The all day multi-venue festival takes place over a minimum of seven venues in the heart of the city bringing international, national and regional artists together for a day of music in Sunderland. Returning for a third year, Waves will once again utilise the city’s flagship venue The Fire Station as the main stage whilst also welcoming fantastic community hubs Pop Recs and Diegos alongside Independent, The Peacock, The Ship Isis and The Bunker who have been involved since 2021.
An extended line-up of artists and stages, with collaboration from some of the region’s top live promoters, is to follow soon; however, Waves are excited to reveal Manchester’s pop/art-rock outfit Everything Everything as festival headliners in this year’s first announcement.
The band released their 6th studio album ‘Raw Data Feel’ in 2022, critically held as their most successful record yet which charted at Number 4 in the UK, their third Top 5 album. Everything Everything have been twice shortlisted for a Mercury Prize and five times nominated for Ivor Novello Awards all whilst constantly pushing boundaries with their music and playing live to ten of thousands on tour plus featuring on major festivals across the globe.
 
Saw the Pigsx7 again last week at the Lindisfarne Festival, they were rather bloomin' good. This date is just after an American tour and just before an Australian tour.
