The festival, which took place at Pikehall at the weekend, saw thousands of music fans enjoy performances from acts including The Libertines, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Kaiser Chiefs and the Manic Street Preachers.

This year's event took place on a new site, and with a series of amendments, after bad weather last year caused numerous problems and left the site as a mudbath.

The weather did cause some issues this year with strong winds causing some problems on Saturday on the site, and Jamiroquai decided to cut their headline performance short on Sunday night after a break caused by the weather, but the festival otherwise went ahead largely as planned.
