Oh my God! Faithless welcomed us to the Isle of Wight with a truly mind blowing set! The whole crowd had their hands in the air throughout and the party was in full swing. Fantastic lighting and bass beats to die for, it was just unbelievable!

The air was full of glo sticks and the moon resided above one corner of the stage. Maxi Jazz and Sister Bliss had us eating out of their hands with killer tunes We Come 1, Mass Destruction, God is a DJ and Insomnia with an additional female singer adding to the mix and another drummer too, it was just too good for words. They played more tracks but I was just dancing too much along with everyone else it was a blur.

So it went on, not even letting up for an encore and stopped promptly on the 11pm curfew, we wanted more but it was not to be. Possibly the best band Ive ever seen live I was so happy to have witnessed a highlight of the IOW festivals. We came away sweaty and with huge grins a superb opening night.
