Bruce Springsteen's set at BST Hyde Park is expected to be a rainy one but unfortunately for fans, umbrellas are banned.
If you go to a festival in the UK, the likelihood is, even in summer, it's probably going to rain.
Whether it's a light drizzle or torrential downpour, you have to decide whether to take a risk or pack a raincoat or hat - you don't want to ruin your outfit after all.

Alas, if you were thinking of bringing a brolly just in case when you head to see Bruce Springsteen officially perform in Hyde Park, London this weekend - Saturday, 8 July and Sunday, 9 July - then you're in for a shock because they're not allowed.
Springsteen is set to take to the stage at 7:00pm both nights, ending his set at 10:20pm.
So anyone going to see him has a three-hour and 20 minute window for the weather to be fine one minute and then awful the next - would it be a true British summer if it wasn't so unpredictable?

Sadly, the weather forecast - at the time of writing - is already not looking good for the weekend ahead.
According to BBC Weather, rain and even lightening is expected to hit London tomorrow and more rain is set to follow on Saturday.
And you can't even take an umbrella with you to shelter you from any potential storm.

Under its 'Prohibited items,' section BST Hyde Park's website lists several items which aren't allowed at the event.
It states: "In order to facilitate the security, safety and comfort of all patrons, American Express presents BST Hyde Park reserves the right in its reasonable discretion to conduct security searches of persons, clothing, bags and all other items on entry and exit and to confiscate items which may cause danger or disruption to the Event with no refunds (please note that we are not responsible for any prohibited items or other items that we deem inappropriate or unsafe that are confiscated).
"Golf umbrellas, parasols and the like are not permitted at events for safety reasons."
Thankfully, the rain tomorrow is expected to ease off a bit before Springsteen gets on stage.

According to BBC Weather, the potential lightning will take place between 11:00am and 1:00pm and the chance of rain will gradually decrease across the afternoon with only a 26 percent chance of rain by 7:00pm.
On Sunday, this goes down even further to a chance of only seven percent rain at 7:00pm.
May the odds of the British weather be ever in your favour.
