Shropshire bands Madison and The Making also performed on stage, along with Stooshe, Loveable Rogues and Luminites.

Council leader Kuldip Sahota said: "We are delighted that our first major concert in the QEII Fields In Trust Arena was such a success, with more than 3,000 people enjoying a high profile and high quality festival.

"We were blessed with unexpectedly dry and at times pleasant weather and our fantastic crowd gave a very warm Telford and Wrekin welcome to six extremely talented bands.

"We witnessed brilliant performances by our Band Slam winners The Making and Madison and it was a proud moment for everyone in Telford to see our local bands perform on a big stage.

"I would also like to thank Loveable Rogues, Luminites, Stooshe and our excellent headliner McFly for making T-Live a memorable day with performances out of the top drawer.

"We have learned a lot in putting on our first major gig in the arena and we know there are certain things that can be improved for next time.

"But on the whole, it was a wonderful day and together with the success of T-Party the previous weekend, we believe we have provided the borough with a very special week of celebration."
