    Tame Impala would be a perfect headliner but i have a feel they will be doing EP

    Both of HAAis sets were ****ing insanely good ! Arcadia is such an amazing stage for DJs.

    I'm beginning to think John Reynolds must had clones of himself walking around he was spotted doing so many good deeds!

    I saw John Reynolds jump into the lake to rescue a kid's frisby. He was fully clothed and didn't think twice.

    He also helped two old ladies cross the road in the boutique camping.

    He held the door of the jacks open for me and gave me his last sheet of toilet roll.

    Apparently he sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel.

    Anyone catch Saul Williams earlyish on the Sunday on bandstand? Thought he could have been on far bigger stage and later.

    It was always gonna be odd at that time on that stage. Really enjoyed him although I have seen him better before. Maybe it was time of day, location etc.

    Reggie Watts on that stage the previous day was amazing!

    yes, hated it.. although he did have a trent reznor lilt when he sung - does he do NIN covers?

    it definitely won't be Saul who awakens my social conscience... don't get the attraction at all

    Think Trent produced one of his albums and Saul has appeared on his work before.

    pretty decent alright - had a listen to a few other tracks - he really does sound like trent!

    His sunday set didn't sound much like what i've heard so far - seems like it was all a bit off the cuff... also I was in a bad mood because I bought one of those Kale ice pops - yyyeeeeeuuukk!!

    Spoken to a few people who made a few bad choices over the weekend, but that's the worst I've heard.

    how are these people still in business ? Surely everyone has bought one at this stage and vowed never to be so dumb again - they're absolute garbage, not a single nice flavour.

    Bang on there on both counts!! The sound when you are inside the stage itself is incredible!!

    As an aside does anyone remember the afterburner from the picnic years back (2010??) Is it just me or was it much taller then? I'm sure it come in many configurations but I thought no remembered it with steps around the bottom and the DJ box was much higher up??

    The cheek of anyone who buys a kale ice-pop looking for sympathy.

    This time last week, I was 4 vodka tonics deep and was grabbing something to eat. So depressing.
    I'm going to EP but I already feel my heart is only half in it.

    Deadly weekend!

    Pros:
    1. No traffic whatsover (arriving around 1.30pm)
    2. Less than 5min walk from carpark to tent in Boutique
    3. Weather (though ATN can't take the credit for that)
    4. The crowd (Over 21's really worked, the older crowd was great and I heard there was only 2 arrests all weekend)
    5. Layout was great. All stages/tents very close by.
    6. The Lights projecting on the house! Trippy!

    Cons:
    1. Not enough facilities in Boutique (Couldn't get in until after 12, no shops or food stalls available until after that)
    2. A bit of a hike from Boutique. Over an hour round trip from Main Stage. I would love if Boutique and General Camping swapped places next year :)


    After thought. I wondered what the festival would be like if it lashed rain all weekend. Would there be streams of water flowing down the main path from Arcadia down towards the House?
    Also wondered what capacity it could handle? It was noticeable that a lot more people were there on Sunday. If 30,000 people were there I think it would be too overcrowded, especially in around Arcadia and the little pathways through to the other tents, and the path down to the house

    I'm sure the festival organisers will welcome and acknowledge all feedback and tweak it for next year. Can't wait already
