Sister act: Peaches Geldof and boyfriend Eli Roth join her sister Pixie and her new boyfriend for the second day of the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California


With her arm wrapped around his back, it seems grinning Pixie Geldof approves of her sister's new boyfriend Eli Roth.

The Hostel director joined his 21-year-old girlfriend Peaches and her younger sister at the Coachella Festival in California yesterday.

Their party was completed by another young man, who held 19-year-old Pixie's hand possessively as they enjoyed the sunshine.

Peaches's relationship with 37-year-old Eli appears to be going from strength to strength, since they went public at the Oscars Vanity Fair party.

He even leapt to her defence when images flooded the web of her sprawled naked across the bed with a former fling, insisting that everyone deserved a second chance.

But the 16-year age gap between the two has led to speculation that their fling will soon burn out.

Joining the Geldof girls at the festival were another pair of sisters.

Paris and Nicky Hilton wore matching short sundresses and lashings of fake tan as theyrode the Carousel horses and posed for photos.

Actress Kate Bosworth seemed more interested in the music, sitting astride the shoulders of her new boyfriend, True Blood's Alexander Skaarsgard, to watch the show.

But while acts including Beth Ditto's band Gossip delighted the fans, others were forced to cancel their performances, as the volcanic ash cloud continues to force the closure of UK airspace.

Wakefield indie rock 4-piece the Cribs had to cancel their appearance at the festival, along with electro-pop idol Gary Numan.

He posted a message on his website saying his flight had been cancelled by British Airways

He wrote: 'We have called every transatlantic airline that operates from the UK and not only are they not flying, they are not currently accepting any new bookings, not until Tuesday for many of them.

'So, even if they do allow planes to fly later on Sunday or Monday, and that's a very big if at the moment, we can't book seats on any of them.

'Even I have to admit that it's not looking good. As soon as we know more I'll update you all. I can't tell you how disappointed we all are.'

The Cribs, who were due to fly from Heathrow Airport on Thursday, even got on their plane, but the flight was then cancelled.

A Coachella spokesman said: 'Sadly, The Cribs can't make it to Coachella due to the Iceland volcano situation.'

Other UK acts including the Gorillaz and Florence and the Machine were already in the U.S. and made it to Coachella.
