However, if you've done the "sensible" thing and opted to stay at home out of the mud, there's still a super simple way to catch all the action – which includes massive sets from Arctic Monkeys and Bring me the Horizon – from the comfort of your sofa.

Alex Turner and co. will get you dancing like a robot from 1984 (don't place bets on hearing debut album material, though), with AJ Tracey, Wolf Alice and Irish post-punks Fontaines DC warming up the Main Stage East crowd beforehand. For those who remember Myspace, spray-on Topman jeans, chequered Vans and nose-length fringes, Main Stage West may be more appealing, with Bring Me the Horizon and Enter Shikari as the must-see acts of the weekend. With Krept & Konan, Unknown T and American alt-hop star JPEGMafia bolstering the Radio 1Xtra stage, plus Wilkinson and Sigma delivering 170bpm bangers on the dance stage, there's veritable glut of tuneage on offer.
