The energy is building on day two of Leeds Festival, as revellers prepare to be entertained by headliners Dave and Megan Thee Stallion.

Dynamic sets from the likes of Wallows and Bakar have already had feet moving and with Circa Waves and Little Simz still to come, the energy looks set to build.

The crowd for Bakar could barely fit in the BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage.

We’ve spotted a big hint that Pendulum could be performing a secret set at the festival.

Lead vocalist Rob Swire posted a cryptic clue on Instagram, with an image of a book (Reading?) and electric leads (Leeds?)

The diehard fans of American rapper Polo G are in position to wait more than eight hours to see him at Leeds Festival.

He is due to perform on the Main Stage East at 7.30pm but the extremely committed fans have already secured their spot at the front barrier.

When asked why the group were such huge fans of the Chicago rapper, Matt had a simple answer.

He said: “He is the G.O.A.T [greatest of all time].”

Their strategy to stay in their prime spot involves taking advantage of water handed out by security and avoiding going to the toilet if possible.
