Up to 10,000 music fans have packed into Ebrington Square in Derry’s Waterside tonight for the opening night of the MTV Crashes gigs.
The concert is being headlined by British rapper Professor Green and Grammy-nominates singer-songwriter MNEK.
All-girl group Neon Jungle, 11th hour replacement for Katy B who pulled out of the event following the death of her brother, Andrew, have also taken to the stage.
A further 10,000 are expected to attend tomorrow night’s concert, featuring top dance acts Chase and Status, DJ Fresh and Sigma.
Tickets for both events sold out in record time when released last month.
The concerts will be screened across MTV’s UK music channels and subsequently broadcast on its European music channels in October.
