Scissor Sisters and Snoop Dogg dress for rain as Lovebox becomes a mud-box

Scissor Sisters singer Ana Matronic's dress seemed to be the perfect outfit as torrential rain drenched the weekend's Lovebox Festival at Victoria Park.

She took to the stage with the headline act in
multi-coloured rubber as the band made their way through a set that included hits Fire With Fire and Take Your Mama.

Rapper Snoop Dogg treated fans to a full run-through of his 1993 album Doggystyle during his headline slot on Saturday night.

He was joined by Tha Dogg Pound, and paid tribute to former member Nate Dogg who died this year after a stroke. He said: "In the spirit of my homeboy, Nate Dogg, if he was here he'd say something like this," before launching into Ain't No Fun If The Homies Can't Get None.

Blondie were among other acts who performed at the festival, which was founded in 2003 by dance artists Groove Armada.
