Another day, another great line-up of acts. Maximo Park, Kaiser Chiefs, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Basement Jaxx and Jamiroquai were just some of the bands on show. The huge audience were in good spirits, despite the miserable weather. The rain poured down in sheets, everyone was covered in mud, but nothing could curb the enthusiasm of the eager crowd.  | | Black Eyed Peas strut their stuff |
'Awesome, just awesome,' said Dave, a Basement Jaxx fan who had travelled all the way up from Brighton for the event. 'I never expected it to be this good. The mud doesn't bother me.' 'I think it's great for Sunderland,' says Adam, a local Futureheads fan. 'The music scene here is thriving better than ever, and it's great that we can attract shows like this now.'
