Catfish & The Bottlemen - great set & massive crowd

The Lapelles - Brilliant. 10/10. Destined for big things

Indigo Velvet - Fun catchy tunes

Stone Roses

Disclosure

Chase and Status

Slaves

Last Shadow puppets

Saw some good stuff in T Break/BBC Introducing.....Frances, Be Charlotte, Mt. Doubt, Lapelles.

Overall a poor line up and although the arena was better than last year, there are still major issues with the site overall. Wonder when/if the survey will be out??

The Roses were the best of the weekend imo without a doubt, absoloutely rocked it much better than when i saw them in Manchester.

 

RHCP were not far behind but missed out too many classics which resulted in the alot of the crowd just kinda standing around for alot of the gig.

 

Travis were excellent aswell, had a splitting sore head that night glad i picked them over Calvin.

 

Went to Chase and Status as most of my mates went, not really my type of music but ended up having a cracker. They know how to get a crowd going.

 

Also really enjoyed Catfish, Stiff Little Fingers, Gerry Cinnamon and Fun Lovin Criminals.

 

Overall a cracker music wise imo, i do wish they would get more bands in for during the day. Love hearing new music at T(making LCD Soundsytem clash with the chillies, dno what they were thinking there).

Was only there on the Saturday:

Shed Seven, absolutely on form and a great crowd,

Bastille, every time I see them they get better

1975, left Calvin to see them and was so glad I did.

Cocktail cocktail nails it every year for me love that place more than any band

Oh Wonder on Friday sounded amazing - a bit like the XX but more upbeat

Disclosure - thought they would have been better in the dark or in a tent but nailed it and good atmosphere

Stone Roses as a band I have always wanted to see live and didn't disappoint

VANT - missed going to see them at a small local venue so was good to see them in the small T break tent

Catfish and the Bottlemen - large crowd so couldn't get as close as I would have liked but very good

Slaves - loud and rowdy and great banter with the crowd

Chase & Status - went to see these for the Mrs and wasn't expecting much, but really enjoyed them and they definitely know how to get a crowd going
