Day One of Longitude over, and good luck to everyone who has to follow that up.
After getting the cream of the crop of hip hop and grim performing throughout the day – Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Wiley and G-Eazy all performed on Friday – as well as the likes of current pop-phenomenon Dua Lipa, Irish rock duo Picture This and DJ collective The Martinez Brothers, it was time for the mainstage highlight, and it was clear that the man himself was very much looking forward to it:
