Le Galaxie on TV now, would they not attract a bigger crowd or are they just sticking to the hipster crowd

It's them playing on the Other Voices stage -more intimate area, while clashing with Noel Gallagher and the Shins.

Not there this year, watching on t.v. Love the music of Bell X1 but think they were way too far up the bill for a Sat night ??? Wouldn't be into it myself if I was there. Defo the Sat should have been New Order then LCD for sure ?

MattD

Bell x1 definitely sounded a bit flat and thin on RTE. Would really hope it was working out better with a live crowd... compared to Broken Social Scene, Glass Animals or Nas getting such earlier timeslots, you'd hope Bell X1 were blowing them away...

Jenny robbed the dance tunes from pete tong who did it in the bbc ibiza proms who robbed it from other crowd


Rte coverage is not too bad but it is really poor they way you can't hear the crowd....sound sounds thinny.

LCD really showing why they are headliners

Update : that was ****ing awesome

Tractor pulling cars out of yellow carpark. Oh the joys.

In other news:

My darling son brought me to see Years and Years. I was pleasantly surprised. Happy pop, and not the slightest bit offensive or annoying. And they also avoid the interesting as dirty dish water that Coldplay are guilty of.

The Strypes brought it again. Seriously progressing as a band.

Noel Gallagher were fantastic. Had to leave early, rain bucketting down. And dopey here forgot to bring her rain jacket.

Queen-Mise

Oh and I really liked Bell X1 tribute to David Bowie.

I enjoyed Bell X1. Again happy music.

Strypes also covered Talking Heads' Psycho Killer.

Poor performance?

Reggie noble

Toby karr was great

That's my fourth time seeing LCD and they just keep getting better and better. His mention of new material was the cherry on top.

Dying here in the tent

Noel Gallagher was brilliant he was sublime

Lcd was great

Caught 15 mins of years and years very Good actually

Academic were great

Bell x1 are not a main stage act never have been never will be just boring apart from the bowie tribute

Gavin James was also very flat for main stage but kids loved him so what can ya do

Raging I missed Lemaitre

Hiking boots. There's a couple of tricky spots on the way in but the grass held out for the most part and is not gonna cut up very badly at this stage.

Have a great day!

Edit: you could even chance runners based on what I seen yesterday. Although the final shower last night might just have pushed it over the edge slightly.

How were New Order?

Cheers for that! Have a great day too!

GFS and Harmonie agree on rain from about 6pm or 7pm but while GFS has it heavy, Harmonie has us missing the worst of it with mainly lighter rain.

Harmonie usually is more accurate so let's hope it won't get too wet, either way I'd prepare for a wet ending tonight and if you are going to move from the main arena area into Salty Dog and Hazelwood or Rave in the woods etc I'd bring wellies.

Could some one please get me more pain killers and water.

If you could also go for a wee for me too that would be great.

I'm not even considering that for at least two hours yet. Didn't get to bed till 5,30 ish (it was light). Thank **** I had some stuff to calm the oncoming pain last night

Paddy2012

Anyone see Joey Bada$$? Probably the best set I seen yesterday, great atmosphere. Glass Animals were excellent too, I think the crowd/stage had a lot to do with it.

To the tiny petite hot young lady that was in the toilet just before me,

"LADY what the hell did you eat to do that, it's stuck to the dropper, it just won't flush, Jesus it's unreal, even with my hose pointed directly at it and with a full tank, it would not shift!"

To the other petite young lady who entered the cubicle after me and gave me a dirty enough look as it was, please don't judge me, you're about to know the sh1t I've seen.

They were in Other Voices which is tiny. They played to a packed Electric Arena last year so it was a strange decision to put them in OV. Great gig though. That and LCD (who were outstanding) are my highlights so far

Where's the entrance to the guest area

Queen-Mise

Red and yellow carparks are both closed. Absolute mudfests.

Tractor had to pull us out of yellow last.

Green is still perfect.
