With a line up featuring the finest tribute bands in the business it is no surprise that WV1Fest is pulling in the crowds.

More than 7,000 attended day one of the tribute festival experience in West Park in Wolverhampton for its tenth year on Saturday (August 9).

The atmosphere was electric with 30 live acts taking to the stage. A special tribute to Ozzy Osbourne took place too - with fans celebrating the full moon.

Founder Jools Taylor told the Express & Star: "When we started 10 years ago we got 2,500 people to come and we've not moved from West Park. Through word of mouth we have got bigger and bigger which takes more organisation but it is worth it. We have now got two stages and a lot more acts. The people of Wolverhampton always bring a brilliant energy."

Here’s 41 rocking pictures of music fans and tribute bands:
