Hands up!

Any acts you're particularly looking forward to?

It's my first time and we're camping. Should be good banter.

Any survival tips?

Meeeeee! biggrin

My first time too though. Going on the Sunday mainly to see the Killers but hope to catch Nero if they don't clash smile

When you're in the crowd and get hit by a liquid, It's 95% probable that's it's not beer!

I wasn't too impressed with the line up this year so I'm giving it a miss. Only been twice myself but have had some of the best laughs I've had in ages.

Time warp to Madchester. Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, Charlatans, Stone Roses.
Comedy value of LMFAO.
Human League.
Tom Jones.
Australian Pink Floyd.

Will be doing everything I can to avoid Killers and Snow Patrol.

Snow Patrol are pretty good live, but agree on the Killers.

Coolest name in er...music, but distinctively average hehe

Good festival as per usual :-)

Weston park was packed, especially yesterday. I cant say I was overwhelmed by the stone roses, love their music but seemed a bit flat last night. Still great to watch. The Husmn League and Stranglers were great. The Killers (who I've wanted to see for years!) did not disappoint - they were excellent. Also caught one of my favourite bands, the Friendly Fires, and they were awesome. Managed to get close to the stage without getting covered in piss as all the piss throwers were watching Noel.

Great weekend, will be back next year, but maybe take a campervan.

Thought it was ok. Shame that 90% of attendees appear to be s. Did some camping and was shocked to see the levels of squalor people will live in, literally sitting in their own rubbish. I suppose one shouldn't expect much from peasants.

Highlights for me included Tim Minchen, LMFAO, Guetta, Tinie Tempah & Noah and the Whales. Felt Madness, Wretch 32 and DJ Fresh were also really good. Surprise of the show - Rodrigo y Gabreila, surprisingly decent!

Not sure I'd bother next year unless the line up was particularly good. It's just such hard work tbh. Far too much attitude. Shame. frown
