Thousands of festival goers are making their way there for this year’s four-day event, which kicks off today and runs through to Sunday night.

The lineup is packed with talent - including Sting, Stereophonics, and Justin Timberlake.

People have been able to leave their wellies at home this year, with warm and sunny weather forecast for the weekend.
