NOT even the threat of thunder and lightning could deter this year's Parklife festival crowd.
Sure, it was a bit of a pain when the yellow weather warnings came to fruition, but once the storm had passed, festivalgoers came out in force.
Before all that, the day started off rather nicely as the sun shone down on day two of Parklife 2023, as music-fans prepared themselves for the day ahead, as acts including Flo, Crystal Millz and Mella De prepared to warm up the afternoon crowds.
And what a way to start the afternoon. 2pm in the Eat Your Own Ears tent, and it's jammed for JPEGMAFIA.
The Brooklyn rap icon turned the crowd into a swirling, slightly terrifying mosh pit within seconds of taking the stage, with tracks like Scaring The Hoes, Bald, 1539 N. Calvert, the crowd chanting 'peggy, peggy, between each track.
Wearing a number nine Haarland shirt, he screamed himself hoarse, only stopping for his auto-tuned acapella version of Carly Ray Jepsen's Call Me Maybe.
Over on the Parklife Stage, Flo displayed a masterclass in tight choreography and flawless vocals backed by a live band that elevated the songs. Each member had a chance to shine as they serenaded the steadily growing crowd with songs like Feature Me, Immature and Losing You.
