And as temperatures are set to rise it looks like it will be a scorcher of a weekend.
The feel-good festival will see acts including Nile Rodgers, Hot Chip, Public Service Broadcasting, The Wailers, and Roger Sanchez performing across a plethora of weird, wonderful and whimsical stages.
Located between Clitheroe and Sawley in the Ribble Valley the festival runs until Sunday.
And these images give a glimpse of how the venue looks this year and also the first batch of revellers arriving ready to set up camp and start enjoying the three day event.
