In Photos: End of The Road Festival (Day Three) @ Larmer Tree Gardens, North Dorset (04.09.11)

Day three of any music festival has a way of sorting out the men from the boys, the hardened festival veterans from the novice first-timers. Of course, when the weather behaves itself it makes things easier for everyone, and the Sunday of this year's End of The Road thankfully brought yet more sunshine and dry conditions to Larmer Tree Gardens.

As well as keeping the paying punters happy, the weather seemed to have a warming effect on many of the acts performing: as Richard Gray's photo gallery below shows, there were smiles aplenty from late afternoon acts Tinariwen and The Leisure Society – hell, even Mmes. Marling and Newsom got in on the act as the evening progressed. The likes of dream poppers Wild Nothing and locals Brakes, meanwhile, kept things a bit moodier under canvas on The Big Top Stage. All in all, then, a strong finish to a pleasantly mud-free weekend that seems to grow in stature year on year.
