The festival - which is in its 15th year - has also launched a new campaign, which will see them plant thousands of trees on site for every customer.

Some are even named after this year's artists, including an Ash tree for Richard Ashcroft, a Bamboo for Bombay Bicycle Club, and a Royal 'Oak' Blood tree.
