Dave Pearce on the Radio 1 Stage

In the Muzik Live Arena the three Scots and a bloke from Portsmouth who make up The Beta Band also made their debut at Homelands.

Their dreamy sounds went down a storm in the afternoon sunshine with everyone belting out the catchy lyrics during 'Squares'.

Elsewhere, if the sun wasn't hot enough for you the latin beats in the Bacardi BBar had everyone on their feet - dancing on tables and generally getting jiggy with it. Basil Isaac kept things well and truly fired up with his injection of live beats throughout the afternoon.

If you needed to cool down, chill-out kings Zero 7 could be found in the Giles Peterson World Wide Arena playing their distinctive laidback, sophisticated beats. There wasn't a sandal, sling-back or flip-flop that wasn't grooving.

Marc Almond

Back undercover, 80's duo Soft Cell brought their massive sing-a-long anthems to the Muzik Live Arena. Marc was on top form, he seemed to be having a fantastic time on stage and tanatalized the crowd with some fab dancing as they played a selection of old and new dance material.

Needless to say, an ecstatic Homelands crowd went totally mental to their finale - 'Tainted Love'.

As the sun went down and a warm glow spread across the crowd, Matt Dix kept the Strongbow Lounge's sun deck thumping with some top tunes.

Meanwhile, on the Radio 1 stage underground techno God Carl Cox took to the stage keeping thousands of people out of the tents and in the sunshine as he got in the mix for three hours.

Basement Jaxx dancers.

As we headed into the night, feet were firmly on the dance floor when headliners Basement Jaxx took to the stage of the Muzik Live Arena.

They were well and truly in the festival spirit with dancers dressed as peacocks and swans, acrobats, and flamenco dancers.

The duo brought the crowd to a complete frenzy with 'Where's Your Head At' and had the dance floor jumping and shouting throughout their set.
