HOLLA! How are you, lollipop? Linda Marigliano here, typing to you from the luscious town of DALBY.

Everyone is embracing the rain, cracking out their ponchos and carrying their friends (who foolishly wore their whoite sneakers) on their backs.

It all kicked off at 3pm as the gates opened to a flood of eager poncho clad punters, more than prepared to brave the rain to score the prime viewing turf.

After three huge live sets and one of the biggest crowds yet, triple j's One Night Stand concert had to shut down early due to the extreme weather conditions.
