The massive two-day rock festival at Knebworth Park and Gardens, from 1-2 August, attracted 61 bands and over 80,000 fans.

Beginning on Monday 20 July, the giant festival took 11 days to build. The first day included the delivery and set up for ten 900-gallon water tanks stationed around the park.

CCTV, phone and Wi/Fi facilities were setup on the second day, along with miles of Heras fencing and steelshield to secure the site.

On days four to seven, weddings were taking place in the grounds and barns. The main stage build commenced on Thursday 23 July, and the Bohemia Big Top on Sunday 26 July.

Sodexo Prestige supplied crew catering in the tithe barns throughout, with 6,939 meals provided, including sweet and sour pork, Lancashire hot pot and seafood pie.
