Independent Live’s Ben Richardson said: “We’re getting really excited now as we head into the run up to the first ever edition of Waves. It’s great to be able to add some more of our favourite new acts to the bill and it’s even greater knowing that we’ve still got more to announce including a really cool partnership with one of Sunderland’s best new music organisations.”
