Ominous clouds were not enough to deter festival-goers from claiming their camping spots on day one of the Rhythm & Alps festival yesterday.
Despite the occasional stray glance skyward, campers appeared in good spirits as they filed through the main entrance hauling tents and sleeping bags.
Zac Jenkins, who travelled from Hawke’s Bay to be part of the three-day festival, said he was most looking forward to seeing British duo Sigma perform, but also appreciated the chance to soak up the "great atmosphere".
