Went last year. Have to say it was basically for Biffy Clyro but came away very impressed with The Wombats, Ed Sheeran and Chase and Status.

Spent way too much time drinking and not enough wathing bands! Reckon over the 3 days I only saw about 8 people

Me too. When I went last year it was a majorly young crowd so Dizzee will have massive appeal, along with Ed Sheeran too

Not that taken with Ed Sheeran last year. Wombats,ToddlaT & Goldierocks all killed it though. Glad the festival is still in Abersoch.

Never had such a brilliant time, it was an awesome festival! The crowd is very 16-17 year olds and me being 22 at the time i felt very old.

Have to say, the focus on the rock bands is terrible...Biffy was amazing but Wombats were pure w*nk and ive never been so disapointed in seeing a band in my life! Kids in Glass houses were good but they might aswell have played the local pub because about 50 people were there to watch them!

This festival is set up for wakeboarding, and if you actually take the time to go to the marina and the beach in abersoch you wont be let down. They have a DJ on the beach and wakeboarding is a impressive spectical!

Music takes over at the night and if your into very comercial dance music then you will be happy!

Looks like Wakestock will be using microchip wristbands this year. Has this put off anyone from going?

Poor bastards at Wakestock, take a look at these photos.

It looks worse than when Pennards flooded at Glastonbury a few years back, but at least with that the sun came out quite quickly afterwards. At Wakestock the worst weather hasn't hit yet.

I may be wrong but I believe the top photo of the submerged tents is from Glastonbury a number of years back - it was doing the rounds during Download festival too. Can't trust Twitter.. (edit - they've removed this picture from the article now)

My friend sent me this earlier from site which sin't much better. Poor bastards indeed..

lol - I can't double check now they've removed it, but you might well be right.

And that of course negates my original comment of it looking worse than that, How could it when it was that?

That pic of yours still looks bad, and what I've seen on the BBC News channel looks bad too.
