NORTH-EAST hotshots Maximo Park drew the crowds to the region's largest free music festival, Freevolution.
As many as 50,000 people converged on Tyneside for the event.
Others on the bill included Echo and the Bunnymen, Joe Jackson, Seven Heroes and Chromeo.
The festival had two stages, one at Spillers Wharf on the Newcastle Quayside and one near the Baltic contemporary arts centre in Gateshead.
