The festival that kicks off the UK’s music season proper gets its 50th anniversary going with sets from Rita Ora – no doubt belting out a few hits from her much-anticipated and delayed second album – plus The Script, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Walking on Cars, Bang Bang Romeo and headliners Kasabian (whose set is also on Sky One).

After today, Depeche Mode, Liam Gallagher and more keep things rocking over the weekend.
