On Saturday (June 27) light drizzle is predicted in the afternoon, with temperatures set to peak at 24 degrees Celsius.

On Sunday things should be sunnier and dryer, with temperatures predicted to peak at 27 degrees Celsius and no rain at all predicted throughout the day.

The gates for camping at the festival opens tomorrow (June 23).
