Thousands of music-lovers have flocked to Hull for the city's largest one-day festival.
The Humber Street Sesh is showcasing more than 100 acts across 10 stages, with headliners including The Howl & The Hum, Fiona Lee and Jodie Langford.
Gates opened on at 11:15 BST, with the last entry at 21:00 BST.
The one-day event takes place in the Fruit Market area of Hull, with stages spread around surrounding streets.
The grassroots festival has taken place every year since 2012, but was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. A smaller spin-off event was staged in 2021.
Large-scale roadworks on the A63 and the redevelopment of Queen's Gardens has meant a scaled-down event for the past two years.
It is hoped the festival will expand into the city centre once works have been completed.
Over the years, the festival has provided a springboard for performers such as rapper Chiedu Oraka, who will soon support Coldplay at their shows in Hull later this month.
Tickets can be purchased at the festival entrance.
