Do I need to arrive early to get into the front circle bit or don't they have that?

There is no golden circle.

Got there a bit late so missed the first two bands.  Crystal Castles were ok but didn't suit such a big stage.  Foals, however, performed the single most boring live set I have ever experienced.

Good job Blur were so incredible.

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble were great - did well to get the crowd woken up and involved so early on.
Golden Silvers - I think they put everyone back to sleep again!  
Crystal Castles - If you like them and were up close they were probably ok but sat back a bit her voice was annoying as hell  
Foals - Slightly better than boring for me but sounded like every song was a Bloc Party rip-off!
Blur - Awesome!

Deerhoof - Weird Japanease semi singing lady with crazy rythms
FloMo - err, wow!  stunning voice
Amadu and Miriam (sp) - Great sunny fun.  10 mins of them singing 'africa' got me a little delerius though
Vampire Weekend - pish.  didnt excite me at all

Blur!

Aye, Crystal Castles are better suited to indoor stages. The strobe lighting effects don't really work on a sunny afternoon Hyde Park...Really liked the festival setup too - particularly the beer garden... Blur played a great set, For Tomorrow was the high point for me...
