The festival, which began on Friday and goes on until Sunday, features 300 acts playing 40 venues over the weekend.
Loopfest in Shrewsbury, is the brainchild of musician and promoter Jamie Smith and David Gregg, who runs the Albert’s Shed group of music venues, and is one of the biggest festivals of its kind in the UK.
The three-day musical extravaganza features both renowned artists such as Miles Hunt from The Wonder Stuff, Britain’s biggest rap band, Goldie Lookin’ Chain and producer Mandidextrous, along with local acts and grassroots artists.
These have included The Cheap Thrills from Liverpool, Girlband! from Nottingham and Shropshire bands Adult Play and Boom Boom Womb.
And this year has broken all records.
