Photo galleries: Thousands enjoy first day of Sundown Festival at Norfolk Showground
Thousands of people got into the festival atmosphere at the Norfolk Showground yesterday afternoon, on the first day of the Sundown Festival.
The weather was a little disappointing but the rain largely held off, with overcast conditions and maximum temperatures of 20C now being predicted for both days.
The crowds at Sundown, formerly Norfolk Spectacular, were anticipating X-Factor star Olly Murs to take centre stage tonight, following the likes of Katy B, Pixie Lott, Wiley, Diana Vickers and Stooshe.
Organisers say they have already sold many more tickets than last year but there are some still available – with some day tickets available for �35 on the gate.
Star DJs Chase & Status top the bill on the main stage today, following acts such as rapper Labrinth, Radio One rock DJ Zane Lowe and Ms Dynamite.
