Tens of thousands attend city music festivals

Tends of thousands of people attended three live music events in Bristol over the weekend.

Artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Craig David, Ne-Yo and Jess Glynne performed at new one-day music festival, Ashton Gate Presents BS3, on Saturday.

At the same time in the city centre, Bristol Sounds also returned to the Lloyds Ampitheatre on Saturday and Sunday.

On Sunday, it was the turn of rock band Kings of Leon to play Ashton Gate as part of their latest tour.

Skindred headlined Bristol Sounds on Saturday, while Gentleman's Dub Club were the main act on Sunday.

Meanwhile at Ashton Gate, a total of 10 acts appeared across two stages for the stadium's first ever BS3 event, a one-day festival.
