Mumford & Sons provided a rousing finale at Radio 1's Big Weekend

The day saw mixed weather at the festival site, with Tate McRae's early high-energy performance basking in the sunshine contrasted with fans braving a heavy downpour to watch Haim later on.

But many fans were not deterred by the downpours.

After Haim told the crowd the band would "party harder" in the rain, Rebecca said Mumford & Sons "would be just as good in the rain as well".

Her friend Izzy adds: "It's a good atmosphere - I feel emotional."

Elsewhere, the New Music Stage was headlined by Jade, formerly of Little Mix, and also saw performances from South Arcade, Joy Crookes, Flo and Self Esteem.

Jade told Newsbeat she was feeling "a little bit nervous" ahead of her set, because it was her "first big solo performance".

Admitting she's had "tunnel vision" about the set, fans in the New Music Tent were cheering her on with every song.

Tate McRae kicked off Sunday on the Main Stage
