Revellers are braving the muddy conditions as they file in for the second day of the Splendour in the Grass festival at the North Byron Parklands.

Festival co-founder Jessica Ducrou has described the wet weather at the festival as the "worst" Splendour has experienced in its 21-year history.

But the campgrounds looked in better shape on Saturday than on the first major day of the festival.
