Most have been mentioned already Chilis 2007, AM 2009, Ian Brown 2009 But I'll throw in Blink 182 2010 - Horrifically out of tune, but the crowd atmosphere saved it somewhat. At the Drive In 2012 - I remember all the hype about how amazing they were supposedly going to be, but they were probably the worst band I have ever seen. Just awful.

Hope so. Love that song! Fucked Up too if they're about as well.

Porto was like that this year too 😕 I haven't been for 6 years, but before you'd only get a small gathering of Brits who were there for the music. Hopefully it's just a post covid one off.

Yes please! Any chance of the following?: Broken Social Scene Sunny Day Real Estate The Fugees

Ah I'm sorry. Yeah it was either dry, plain or hard. I went to that Simpsons burger van and it was the dryest burger I've ever had!

Did anyone find any decent food? I thought it was terrible! Well what I had anyway.

I got a bit of stick for turning up late for Interpol, eventhough they were just talking anyway and not watching haha. Seemed to be a lot more Brits this year, than there were in previous years we went, some of whom never even engaged during the sets. Hope it isn't turning into Barcelona Primavera, with people just going to show off on Instagram.

Finally home and tired, only had 4 hours sleep last night due to early flight today. I wasn't too enamoured with the line up originally, but ended up having a great time. Pavement were good, although they missed off a few of my favourites, so might have to go their shows. I'm sure they played Kennel District, but Spiral sang something else over it. But setlist said they didnt. Not sure what was happening with Beck, the playback was pretty embarrassing and at one point the guitar "played" before he did lol. Still Lost Cause and One Foot in the Grave were amazing, and it was good to hear Novacane and Hotwax. I'd say Dinosaur Jr were the best, followed by Jawbox. Little Simz, Kim Gordon, DIIV and Slowdive were great too. I must have been lucky with sound, but I was at the front for every show. Didn't like all that NFT and Crypto rubbish everywhere, although they're taking over everywhere these days. They really need to ban rucksacks! Too many stood at the front with giant rucksacks or in the pit with rucksacks. Not sure about next year yet, hopefully there will be some good bookings.
