No need for wellies: all the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend pictures right here

No need for wellies: all the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend pictures right here

Today's the first day of Radio 1's Hackney Weekend which will see massive acts like Jay-Z, Rihanna, Rita Ora, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Calvin Harris, will.i.am and (it's rumoured) a special appearance by Cheryl Cole pull on their wellies and tramp across Hackney Marshes in East London. Or, let's be honest, just ride in a buggy.

But if you haven't got a ticket (boo) or just like your sofa (we get this, we really do) then here are all the pictures from the day, as they happen. Exciting. And quite welly-heavy.

Fearne, presenting on the main stage

Example is well prepared for the rain. Responsible AND sexy

There's no way Rita Ora's outfit will be that white come 8pm, is there?

Dappy's outfit is the most optomistic one we've seen all day

Leona Lewis looks AMAZING

 

Ready and waiting: The main stage at Hackney weekend this morning

It was reported that people were queuing for two and a half hours. But that's ok: who doesn't like queuing?

Ed Sheeran, advertising an event he's already at

Harley from Rizzle Kicks, also in a weirdly clean t-shirt
