It comes as we previously told that Hot Chip had been forced to pull out of their Megamix set at the music festival due to illness.

Playground Festival made a comeback yesterday after two years with acts including The Libertines, James and Glasvegas entertaining audiences on the first day.

Revellers can enjoy a number of performances today including Boy George & Culture Club as the event continues this weekend.
