This weekend we joined the crowds at Lovebox festival.

Now, in its 12th year in Victoria Park, this two day festival packs in a seriously eclectic programme across 12 stages.

Friday saw the likes of Stormzy, Major Lazor (complete with cannons and neon hula hoops) and the legendary Run the Jewels.

Then on Saturday, George Clinton brought his funky as hell ‘Mothership Connection’ to the main stage followed by the impossibly cool Jungle, Miike Snow and Chet Faker, but the one name on everyone’s lips was LCD Soundsystem, who closed the festival with an absolute banger on Saturday night.

As the sun broke through the grey skies for the first time in weeks, people cracked out their best festival fashion. Here are our picks of the raddest people of Lovebox 2016!

Lauren

Awesome outfit, Lauren rocked this crotchet dress and hat!

‘Lovebox is great, like a Glastonbury in London.’

Stevie

The stewards can make the day and Stevie was well into the vibe, dancing on the tables with the festival goers.

‘It’s absolutely lovely, everyone’s really nice.’

Sophie

Sophie from South London rocked this incredible homemade cape. She was at the festival manning the Lovespecs stand, selling kaleidoscopic love heart sunglasses to raise money for the Love Support Unite charity in Malawi.
