by Chris Hunter

The Hop Farm Festival has begun!

If you're off to any of the gigs this weekend, let us know what you think.

If Van was your man, Dylan was amazing or maybe an act you'd never seen before impressed you, we want to hear all about it.

You can post your comments here.

Send us some pictures too. Email high res jpegs to messengernews@thekmgroup.co.uk
