I went to this last year and this post most likely just documents my descent to a cantankerous old man, but I did not like it:
– the power/sound kept cutting out on one of the stages
– the programming was a bit wierd at times; one of the tents was all dance/techno acts and full of people pilling; then a vocal/guitar band came on and every single person in that tent left
– the tent with all the bands I wanted to see could hold about 40 people tops and was always too full to get into
– while traipsing away from a power cut in one tent to another tent that I couldn’t get into, I was serenaded by Peter Hook murdering his Joy Division legacy on the main stage. It was like a pub band featuring my dad singing out of key to songs of one of the most seminal and influential bands out there. And some people seemed to like it
– the queues for the loos were big and the people in them horrible
Field Day’s a much nicer affair all round for me.
Rant over =)
