Continuing the ace live music, folk singer Will Varley brought out the crowds with his incredible live set. If you loved him as much as we did, don't forget he returns to Nottingham on 16th November for a headline show at Rescue Rooms!
After her surprise Glastonbury warm-up show at The Bodega last month, Gabrielle Aplin returned to the city for a great slot on the Splendour Festival Main Stage where fans were treated to loads of Gabrielle's hits!
After a jam packed set from former Spandau Ballet lead singer Tony Hadley, the crowd were ready and waiting for the lads from Busted to take the stage, and it was worth the wait. The trio treated fans to songs old and new, including Crashed The Wedding, Sleeping With the Light On, On What You're On, What I Go To School For and Year 3000!
