Love Saves the Day festival is underway in Bristol today (Thursday, June 2) - the first of two days of music and festivities, this year taking place at Ashton Court Estate. And, falling across not one but two bank holiday dates, it's no wonder that organisers are expecting a big number of visitors over the course of the festival.
Its 10th edition is set to see an expected 30,000 people flock to the festival from far and wide, according to organisers. And a further 30,000 are expected tomorrow, too - that's 10,000 more than last year's event at Clifton Downs.
Gates opened for the 2022 festival just after 12pm this afternoon and those in attendance today will see music from acts including Bicep, Kurupt FM, Ross From Friends, Sub Focus, Caroline Polachek and more, across 10 stages. Organisers have dubbed this year's event, which falls on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, "a Jubilee party like no other to celebrate a decade of love" adding that it looks set to be "the biggest Love Saves the Day Festival to date".
