Thousands of Lancashire music enthusiasts have descended upon the Ribble Valley for the start of the Beat-Herder festival, which runs until Sunday, July 19.
The festival features an impressive line-up, including Faithless Live, Sigma, and Wilkinson (DJ) headlining this year's event.
Other notable acts include Groove Armada (DJ Set), David Rodigan, and Roni Size, alongside hundreds more performing across the festival's diverse stages.
The event has become one of the UK's most beloved boutique festivals, known for its unique atmosphere and immersive experiences.
