The Hot Press Signing Tent has proved a storming success on the first day of Oxegen, with queues reaching up to 5, 000 at the peak of the afternoon.

The greatest threat to crowd control came in the form of Franz Ferdinand, with the Glaswegians choosing the humble meet 'n' greet as their post-gig wind-down of choice. With queues at a length that had promoters worried, the lads extended their stay considerably to meet the demand. And a nicer bunch of superstars we could not have asked for.

Check out the Signing Tent photo gallery for all the happy snaps.

Other highlights today have included Elbow, Paddy Casey, Jerry Fish and Bell X-1.
