Norway's Dagny plays the Big Top PHOTOS

Norwegian singer songwriter, Dagny, brought an energetic set to the Isle of Wight Festival's Big Top, on Thursday night.

Just a few hours after the gates were thrown open at the Seaclose Park site, Dagny, who has gone from rising star in 2016 to accumulating over a billion streams and sold out tours, proved to be a hit.

She even jumped into the crowd during her set on opening night of the 2024 festival.

With the Main Stage yet to open, crowds had been eagerly anticipating Big Top headliner, Scouting for Girls, meanwhile.

Earlier the tent hosted a performance by crowd favourite, Rick Parfitt Jnr, who led a sing-a-long version of Status Quo's Rockin' All Over the World, made famous by his late dad, who played the same venue eight years ago.

Also proving a draw was footballer Peter Crouch, who hosted a live podcast, half-time DJ set by Capital's Chris Stark and a watch party, when England played Denmark.
