Local heroes Lostprophets and The Automatic have triumphed at this year's Full Ponty festival in Wales - but Gallows were the day's surprise big hit.

Headliners Lostprophets wowed the 10,000-strong crowd at Ynysancharad Park in Pontypridd yesterday (May 26) with a set which included classics such as 'Fake Sound Of Progress' and set closer 'Last Train Home'.

The set also featured brief cameos from singer Ian Watkins' mum and gran.

The Automaticwere also a big hit with the locals, with set which included the favourites 'Raoul', 'Golddigger', 'Monster' and set closer 'Recover'.

Other highlights included Atrium Stage headliners Paramore, local lads The Guns, and Gallows, who saw a massive crowd queue up to watch their set on the small Coca-Cola Stage.

Frank Carter and co, didn't disappoint, with 'Orchestra Of Wolves' and 'Will Someone Shoot That Fucking Snake' the undisputed highlights of the set.
