If you're out and about in Hackney's Victoria Park today, chances are you'll be at the second Field Day Festival, where music highlights range from The Field, Brodinski, Richie Hawtin and Simian Mobile Disco through to Laura Marling and Fionn Regan. Aside from that, we're chomping at the bit for the carrot-eating contest at 3pm.
At the moment (the supremely early time of 8:45am) London is bathed in sunshine and blue sky - the sort of weather we'd expect for August, but which has been all too rare this year. According to the Met Office, rain is expected throughout the afternoon and evening, so the initial promising signs may not follow through.
We have a team of writers on the ground. If you're going and you see us, do say hello.
Update: Sadly, technology failed us. Or more correctly, got wet. So did we. Full review to follow in the festivals section...
