    The weather here at Big Weekend has not made up its mind, shifting from rain to sun and back to rain in the past few hours.

    Jody, Chris, Matt and Ellie have come prepared with their footwear and tell us the chance of rain hasn’t dampened their enthusiasm.

    “We’ll splash puddles!”

    And they are not alone - plenty of wellies visible at Stockwood Park.

    After forming at university as teenagers, London Grammar have quietly become one of the UK’s most successful bands. They started their set on the main stage about five minutes ago.

    Over the last decade, they’ve sold three million albums, two of which went to number one in the UK.

    And in 2021, they joined tonight’s headliners, Coldplay, on their Music Of The Spheres tour.

    Built around frontwoman Hannah Reid’s soaring, colourful voice, they’re the perfect band for a drizzly Sunday afternoon - with their hushed, stuttering house beats providing a much-needed antidote to the grey skies.

    Their performance comes ahead of the release of their fourth album, The Greatest Love, in September.

    Expect to hear the new singles House and Kind Of Man mixed in with classics like Strong and Hey Now.
