A sun-soaked, wind swept Marley Park greeted enthusiastic festival revellers as they descended on Longitude – for a shitload of dancing, craic and, most importantly, some of the best musical acts on the planet.

A stone's throw from the Main Stage, Hot Press' photography tent had a front row seat to watch six of the most talented acts of the weekend.

As the eager, early bird fans piled in through the entrances, they were greeted by the first act of the day, the soul-tinged Cork guitarist, Brian Deady.

The illustrious, powerful, soul vocals of Laura Mvula were next to grace the Main Stage. Her voice was so rich, it echoed beautifully throughout the park setting.

The hotly tipped English indie rockers Daughter did their thing, followed by the Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches. They were one of the highlights of the day – their bright, sparkling, '80s-influenced performance got the Marley party-goers grooving.

Elsewhere, on the Heineken Stage, the portly wordsmith, Action Bronson, belted out his anthem 'Terry'. "Smoke good, fuck, eat, drink," was screamed right back at the Queens rapper, as he egged the crowd on in bravura style.

The place was really buzzing, as the tattoo-covered Bronson paraded across the stage shouting: "This is my last show, I've been waiting to see you guys. I love you guys." Instantly, a chorus of "Bronson" and "Ole, Ole, Ole," erupted from the audience.

He was joined on stage by The Alchemist and Mayhem Lauren, and although there seemed to be microphone issues, which naturally irritated the New Yorker, Bam Bam brought the bump n' grind to Longitude like no one else could.

So far, he's been the action man highlight of Longitude. We'll see what Kendrick Lamar has to say about that in a few hours!
