It has been a day to remember at Leeds Festival as the heavens opened again and a stage was closed due to overcrowding.
The popular event at Bramham Park is now in its third day and the major name acts won’t stop coming. Charli XCX and Fontaines D.C. are set to bring the vibes on Saturday (August 29) night.
Fans have once again battled adverse weather - although it is not as muddy as the sister festival in Reading. But the rain couldn’t keep the smiles away from attendees.
The artists who were due to perform on the closed stage have hit out at the decision. “I’m absolutely gutted,” said one.
