Craig David completely filled out the In New Music We Trust tent.

Skepta got his wish for a bigger mosh pit.

But there were some other Big Weekend moments you might not know about.

We've made you a handy list.

1: There were a lot of artists watching other artists, like Ellie Goulding merking out to Skepta, Kodaline watching Kygo and Years and Years dancing on the sidelines during Izzy Bizu's set.

But we also spied Chris Martin watching The Last Shadow Puppets in the In New Music We Trust Tent.

2. Speaking of The Last Shadow Puppets, here's a nice moment between Alex, Miles and Blossoms - who've supported them at three of their recent gigs.

3. Most bands have a little ritual that they do before they hit the stage. We can't confirm that this is Skepta's but just before he #Shutdown he danced a little to the chant of BBK (the Boy Better Know grime label) from the crowd.

4. You may have missed A.Dot's chat with Stormzy during Big Weekend, but we didn't because it was done in a golf buggy just outside our cabin. A.Dot's got some driving skills.

5. After Years and Years performed King with a troop of dancing zombies we spotted them hugging it out, side of stage. We think they were glad they didn't slip in the confetti.

6. For some reason someone erected a mini golf area near Newsbeat's cabin. We couldn't quite work out who it was for or why it was there. But we loved the gnome.

7. If you spied this hotdog wandering through the crowd with his cheerful dancers, you might have bagged yourself some #R1VIP access. It's where fans got to meet some of the Radio 1 DJs and see the studio where BBC Radio 1 broadcasted live from all weekend.
