The day also saw a surprise from Rachel Chinouriri on the BBC Introducing Stage, who was only revealed as Friday’s stage headliner in the morning.<\/p>\n
She played songs from her recent debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events.<\/p>\n
“Me and my friends, we’re quite good at keeping secrets. I’m a Scorpio so quite secretive,” Rachel told Newsbeat.<\/p>\n
For most of the day, though, she was “hiding in the traffic”, in a journey that ended up taking her four hours.<\/p>\n
The New Music Stage saw the likes of Diplo and Kenya Grace perform too.<\/p>\n
But one group who didn’t perform were Girls Don’t Sync, who posted on Instagram that they pulled out due to “timing” issues.<\/p>\n
There are expected to be about 100,000 people attending across the three days.<\/p>\n
The rest of the weekend will see Raye headline on Saturday, and Coldplay on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Aitch, Griff and Mabel will be playing the Main Stage on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Sabrina Carpenter, Olly Alexander and Vampire Weekend will also hit the Main Stage on the final day of the festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
