One of the great things about festivals is that its a great opportunity to see artistes that maybe you wouldn't usually entertain normally. So to get into the swing of things I made it my mission to try and catch bands that I haven't really seen, and Dizzee Rascal was one of those artistes.

To say that Dizzee has vast amounts of stage presence would be an understatement. He has clearly honed his skills and knows how to work a crowd. Within seconds the crowd were bouncing up and down and waving their arms in the air to a song that just kept repeating Dizzee Rascals name. I believe it was called 'Jus' A Rascal', which set the tone for this high octane performance.

I recognised his big hit 'Dance Wiv Me' and judging by the crowd reaction, I wasn’t the only one to recognise it. Dizzee Rascal has clearly worked hard to get where he is currently, however at this rate he will be a force to be reckoned with in the next year or two.
