Crowds turned out to show their support to The Vamps as the british band got the Summer Concerts in South Shields underway for 2023.

The first of four Sunday Summer Concerts in Bents Park took place yesterday (July 9) as The Vamps took to the stage.

Bents Park was packed as Lauren Amour, The Waiters and Henry Moodie formed the support acts for the afternoon.

Still to play Bents Park later this month is Jason Donovan (July 16), Bjorn Again (July 23) and Boyzlife (July 30).
