Revellers have flocked to We Are FSTVL to enjoy dance music and more this bank holiday weekend.

Dance music enthusiasts from Upminster and beyond have been enjoying We Are FSTVL since Friday and music will wrap up tonight (August 27).

The festival, held in Damnys Hall Aerodrome in Upminster, is headlined by electronic stalwarts The Prodigy in a line-up that includes grime rapper Skepta and DJ Seinfeld.

We have picked out some photos from this year’s event to capture the mood so far.
