Celebrity spotting at 2009's music festivals

Festival celebs: James Corden and Mathew Horne
The comedy pack
Joining festival diehards Russell Brand and The Mighty Boosh, this year’s comedy ligging kings will be James Corden and Matt Horne. If their recent jumping-the-shark TV series is anything to go by they’ll be proving that one of them is 'fat' (hilarious!) and the other one is most definitely 'not gay' (ho ho!).

Festival celebs: Freida Pinto and Dev Patel
The Slumdoggers
Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. Brit film’s hottest couple will be this season’s most papped as organisers attempt to cash in on the pair’s 'feelgood' vibes. Cue laboured London Lite headlines such as Portaloo Millionaires! Slumdog Piltonaires! Tofudog Millionaires! etc.

Festival celebs: Peaches and Pixie Geldof
The Boomtown brats
Peaches and Pixie. While there’s no discernible reason for them to exist, never mind be at a festival, throw a random welly at any event involving bands and beer this year and you’d be guaranteed to hit a Geldof. See also: Kelly Osbourne

Festival celebs: Boris Johnson
The down-with-the kids politicians
Boris Johnson (for no apparent reason), Dave 'Raver' Cameron, David Lammy and Latitude fest regular Geoff 'Indie' Hoon. But which one will be putting through their psychedelic cider and tofu burger on expenses?

Festival celebs: Jordan and Peter Andre
The ITV2 clan
Jordan, Peter, Jodie, Holly, Matt Willis, assorted Hollyoakers, various footballers and their wags and Big Brother’s Samanda and Nikki Graham. Refused entry to the hipper festivals, this lot will be found in the VIP areas of V and Creamfields, possibly posing next to drinks brands.
