Despite the rain, hundreds of festival-goers have come out to Hardwick Hall Hotel, near Sedgefield to enjoy the music. 

Today, Saturday, August 21 saw musical acts such as Maximo Park, Rebecca Ferguson, and the Voluntears, take to the stage.

Today's line-up will conclude with Nile Rodgers and Chic who will perform tonight.

The festival will continue tomorrow with an equally big lineup, including Rag N' Bone man, Razorlight, and Embrace.
