Saturday kicks off with some masked Mexican wrestlers hanging out in the press area. These boys could be as big as their hair. The sun may be shining but Lamb Of God bring darkness to the main stage.

Willie Adler and signature ESP: evil riffs aplenty. Singer Randy Blythe caught in a mosh. Prior to their main stage set, Deftones address the media. Mustaine celebrates the 20th anniversary of Rust In Peace by treating fans to a selection of classic cuts from the album. David Ellefson looks happy to be back in the saddle after returning to the lineup earlier in Singer Chino Moreno in fine form and looking lean as Deftones rock through a powerful set of new and old.

It's time for the headliners, who appear 20 minutes later than advertised but blast through opener Testify with fire and precision. Tim Commerford showing off his badass tattoos. We thought Brad Wilk was using four drumsticks for a moment there too.

Tom Morello and his old faithful 'Arm The Homeless' guitar. Morello is in amazing form, wowing the crowd with his characteristic blend of scratch DJ-aping sonics, blazing lead and pulverising riffs. Zack de la Rocha urges the crowd to "take care of each other" as People Of The Sun is halted due to the risk of crushing at the front of the crowd. The band end a triumphant set with a predictably incendiary version of Killing In The Name.

Sunday brings Slash, Aerosmith and rain. Lots and lots of rain Our Sunday begins with the Slash press conference.
