Beardyman, Yo La Tengo and The Flaming Lips all performed live at the Dublin event
The Forbidden Fruit festival in Dublin's IMMA grounds has started off with a bang!
Insanely talented beatbox artist Beardyman rocked the Underground tent with another impressive off-the-cuff set. The Londoner (Darren Foreman to his mammy) threw in all kinds of weird and wonderful songs to the mix - some Busta Rhymes, Kings Of Leon, and even a touching rendition of that Father Ted classic 'My Lovely Horse'!
Meanwhile, revelers sat in the sunshine enjoying a cider or three as Wild Beasts performed on the Main Stage. As the sun set, headliners The Flaming Lips arrived onstage for a show that featured streamers, balloons and a host of fans onstage dressed as (what else?) scarecrows, tin men and Dorothys! Wayne Coyne & Co. finished off the night with the lovely 'Do You Realise?'.
