Sunderland's Waves festival is set to make a triumphant return for its highly anticipated fourth edition on Saturday 16th November, featuring legendary indie songwriter Miles Kane, Red Rum Club and Tom A. Smith as headliners.

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. Waves will once again utilise the city's flagship venue The Fire Station as the main stage alongside organisers Independent, Pop Recs, The Ship Isis, The Bunker & Diego's (who were involved last year), plus the addition of renowned live music venues and pubs The Museum Vaults & The Ivy House.

Waves are proud to open Apply To Play slots, as the festival looks to discover more exciting new talent from across the UK and bring them to Sunderland's biggest new music showcase. Apply To Play now for a chance of a slot at this year's Waves festival in Sunderland.
