Epic Londoners Editors have turned up the volume at this year's T In The Park.

The clouds are gathering but for now fans are basking in sunshine at the latest instalment of T In The Park. The main arena is beginning to fill as the 85,000 begin to explore the bigger-than-ever festival site.

Australian group The Temper Trap entertain the crowd on the Radio 1 stage, playing hits from their slow burner debut album. The band made their name through heavy touring and its clear to see how they achieved this with a near faultless festival show.

The band open with a slew of tracks from their album, dropping a few singles into the middle of the set. Singer Dougy Mangai's voice is the star of the show, defying gender to soar into the upper register.

Ending with a triumphant 'Sweet Disposition' the Australian's leave to a huge cheer from the massive Radio 1 Stage crowd.

Brooklyn group Dirty Projectors are perhaps mis-cast, with their psych-afrobeat-R&B mixture echoing around the King Tuts tent. However the band have a ball, and clearly relish being able to play for the festival crowd.

Live, the group's chops really come into play with Dirty Projectors being able to sit on a riff, or African rhythm, for minutes at a time. Nothing as mundane as jamming, though, as the band push their songcraft to the fore.

Over on the Main Stage Editors play to an enormous crowd. Basking in some surprising sunshine the band are clad in a deeply unseasonal black. Drawing on their second album 'In This Light And On This Evening' the band are on sizzling form.

Rarely talking to the crowd, it is a mean and moody Main Stage set which has arms aloft and pints in the air. The biggest cheers are held for hits such as 'Munich' - jettisoned with a rare nonchalance.

More to come...
