The Latitude festival has opened its campsite early so attendees can avoid potential rail strike disruption.
Organisers of the Suffolk music and arts event urged visitors to consider travelling on Wednesday to avoid busy roads on Thursday.
General and family ticketholders will have access to toilets, showers, water refills and some food traders.
No on-stage entertainment is scheduled for Wednesday and only the camping fields are accessible.
