Fans heading to an open-air concert have been advised to prepare for the heat as temperatures reach the high 20Cs.

Bristol Sounds 2024, which began at the weekend, resumes on Wednesday with James Arthur headlining.

Thousands of ticket-holders are expected at the harbourside ampitheatre later.

Water refill points have been installed on what is the hottest day of the year so far.

"We want to make the event enjoyable and safe for everyone in the hot weather," organisers said.

"We advise fans to bring a refillable water bottle - there are water refill points in the ampitheatre - and stay hydrated.

"People should also take breaks from the sun, wear a hat and loose-fitting clothing and bring sun cream," they added.

The series began on Saturday and Sunday, with Skindred and Gentleman's Dub Club headlining respectively.

Busted (Thursday), Placebo (Friday) and Annie Mac (Saturday) are the remaining headline acts, with the concerts concluding with an all-day event headlined by The Breeders on Sunday.

The Placebo concert has sold out and organisers say there are only a few tickets left for Busted and Annie Mac.
