Day 2, and with the temperature rising to 26 Celsius, Gok Wan's DJ set got the crowd warmed up.

Sunday's set list included Charlotte Plank, Shalamar and Jersey band Von Cassidy, ahead of Manchester rock band James.

Hot Dub Time Machine closed the 2023 show with a DJ set of music through the decades,

"So good! Such a good vibe!"
