As the festival entered its final day, Guardian photographer David Levene was up in a cherry picker to catch the crowds as they partied into the night in Shangri-La in the south-east corner of the site.
The hugely imaginative space is like a vast open-air art gallery, presenting satirical, anti-authoritarian, anticapitalist visual art alongside high-energy DJ sets and punkish live shows – set amid repurposed buses, Tube trains and more.
