NOT even the sight of black smoke billowing into the sky could stop the party at BoomTown.
The festival carried on unhindered yesterday as around 80 vehicles were destroyed by fire in the car park.
Tens of thousands are enjoying gorgeous sun and colourful decor at Matterley Estate, near Winchester.
With music pumping out from all corners, actors are playing out the festival's narrative in custom-made 'districts', from the Wild West to the Psychedlic Forest.
Fun Loving Criminals were among the highlights on Friday night, but there were 24 stages of electro, ska, reggae, folk, punk, hip-hop and world music to choose from.
Topping the bill are Madness, Leftfield and Damian Marley, son of the legendary Bob Marley.
Revellers started arriving on Wednesday for the five-day bash, which finishes on Sunday.
