No decision on T-Live 2015 this year

The second T-Live Festival, which took place on Friday and Saturday, featured headliners Rick Astley on the first 80s party night and chart stars Lawson and Union J the following night.

The festival at Telford Town Park attracted 3,603 people – 2,177 on the first night and 1,426 on the second, compared with a total of 3,385 in 2013.

Despite hailing the festival as a major success, the council said it will not be making a decision on whether to host the festival for a third year until the new year to ensure that suitable acts can be secured for any future festival.

Nigel Newman, a spokesman for Telford & Wrekin Council, said: "At this stage it's too early to say as any decision will be dictated by the availability and quality of bands.

"The festival market does not tend make bands available for such events until the new year and we wouldn't want to make any decision until we know what acts could be booked to come to Telford."

The council also said the event attracted many local music fans as well as people from as far afield as Scotland and Cornwall.

Many people have been leaving comments praising the two nights' gigs on social media.

The event, organised by the council with promoter Liz Hobbs Group, also attracted about £89,000 in sponsorship from more than 20 backers, with Telford Shopping Centre as the main sponsor.

In 2013 the first T Live, saw McFly come to Telford Town Park alongside Loveable Rogues, Luminites and Stooshe on September 7 cost £242,634 to put on and returned £215,149, making a total loss of £27,484.

The event in 2013, which also featured Shropshire bands Madison and The Making, was a ticketed event and the attendance was 3,177. Of these, 16 tickets were given away as competition prizes and 214 were for local businesses, event sponsors and the Georgia Williams Trust.
