So headliner run down: Dua Lipa 100% nailed. Men with guitars: The 1975/Coldplay/Blur/Foo Fighters. Another female singer. Maybe Rihanna/Madonna but probably not. 100% not Taylor Swift.

I guarantee if he's not on the bill, every TBA DJ set will be rumoured to be him. TBA on Arcadia? Fred Again. TBA on Temple? Fred Yet Again.

My group had a really good time at IICON, wanted a good spot for Four Tet so got there for Cakes Da Killa onwards, who was really good despite the small crowd - house music with a rapper and a dancer plus the visuals. The AV show they do every night is awesome, would definitely recommend it and we were right at the front for Four Tet. Was feeling quite tired after about 50 mins so sat down at the side and was still really nice taking in all the sound and visuals. Stayed there to the end with a bit more dancing. Four Tet up there for me in best sets of the weekend.

I think because a lot of people just "go shangri la" after the headliners regardless of who's on, there's a massive amount of people that want to get into that section every evening. Skindred was RAMMED, and I guarantee not 50% of the crowd knew who they were. Block 9 & The Common areas aren't too bad it's really Shangri-La/Unfairground where the crowds are the worst. My solution is they need to not have large acts on there and essentially just use it as an art exhibit with some relatively unknown but decent DJs playing. Maybe Acoustic/T&C field could have another tent with bands to spread out the crowd. Love the metal representation at Glastonbury but needs to move outside of Shangri-La. Maybe a tent by CarHenge area.

Emotional moments: - RAYE performing Ice Cream Man - Third World performing Con te partirò - Elton performing Daniel
