Fans have been looking forward to James Arthur coming to the Riverside in Middlesbrough all week.

Today is the day. We have pictures and video of the fans pouring into the stadium and our reporter on the ground is excited.

McFly are playing any minute now and they are expected to be very well received too.

Currently the local lad is expected to take to the stage at 8.20pm.
