Best Performance? Blink-182 (just because it was blink) however in terms of actual performance either Weezer or Limp Bizkit.

Worst Performance? A Day To Remember were shocking

Best Discovery? Two Door Cinema Club - listened to them the week before the festival for the first time and after seeing them live (they were amazing) I bought their album, huge fan now can't wait to see them again this year.

Who was better then expected? Enter Shikari, had seen them twice before and thought they were okay but they killed it that night. Biffy Clyro were also alot better than I expected, GNR were also really good.

Worst then expected? The few lib songs I saw. Paramore were pretty bad too after seeing a few amazing live videos I thought they were going to be great.

Best Song? Blink-182 - feeling this, teenage dirtbag -weezer, limp bizkit - Rollin

Best Food? Dominoes pizza, stupid prices but it was worth it, if you put together for a large ends up being around £5 for 3 slices

Best Performance? Weezer, hands down.

Worst Performance? Blink 182. Probably because I expected too much, but they were just boring, we left early. Which is a shame

Best Discovery? Gogol Bordello, never heard of them before Leeds but they were surprisingly good.

Who was better then expected? Lost Prophets. Didn't expect a lot but the hit-laden set was fantastic.

Worst then expected? Again, Blink 182, Paramore get an honorable mention but I could at least say I've seen them before and they were really good then, and it didn't translate well at a fest, but Blink have been around longer and should be more "savvy" I suppose, and just came across as crap.

Best Song? Faith - Limp Bizkit, pretty much their whole set because I was mortalled and jumping around the pits like crazy.

Best Food? I had one caramel snack-a-jack alllll weekend, not one pack, one single snack-a-jack because some tart ate the rest of them :(

Best Performance? Arcade Fire

Worst Performance? Dizzee Rascal (though in fairness, I think it was the crowd I hated as much as him.) Didn't love Blink either.

Best Discovery? Surfer Blood

Who was better then expected? Weezer. One of my favourite bands, but I'd heard mixed reviews about their live performances, so didn't expect them to be nearly as good as they were. Similarly QOTSA

Worst then expected? Modest Mouse are one of my favourite bands of all time, but they were dreadful.

Best Song? Arcade Fire- Rebellion (Lies.)

Best Food? N/A
