It was always a tent until they tried an outdooor stage for Dizzie Rascal/Florence and The Machine when it pissed down, after this Michael said it was back to the tent as it provided a better atmosphere (or words to that effect). The year Liam played I think the tent got stuck at a muddy Reading meaning a tiny, back of a lorry type stage was used and it's been stages since.

Last night was brilliant, had a bit of hassle getting a drink in the venue but Pulp were superb!

Oh to relive that again, and the radiohead set from that year.
Missed Radiohead but got blown away by The Prodigy on the Friday, muddy mayhem!

Ha, I remember Around The World, no idea if it was the last one. Had worked my way to one of the speakers. Danced and giggled as my wife hates that tune and refused to come and see them because of that
It was a live set article + clip.

Believe it was a live set. I was there and sure it was live and not a dj set. Was mashed but remember bits a pieces of it and having great fun. Had to stop Da Funk as someone climbed the tent poles. Once brought down the bass started again and the place went wild
I was there but didn't catch it all and couldn't really see much (just inside the the tent), I'm sure it ended on Around The World as I had it stuck in my head for days.

Only did Sunday, so:
Elvana, Elton, Becky Hill
Oh, and Doreen Doreen, shame it was such a short set though.

On our way to see Elvana, I explained the basis of their name to an uninitiated friend who then asked "are they a tribute band?"...

Maybe give the option to pay a refundable deposit on registering to remove to payment part from the actual sale, it wouldn't help odds wise but may make the process less precarious?

Grabbed a couple tickets at 7pm for £15 each, got there just before Easy Life (who I quite enjoyed); Elbow were enjoyable but dull (encore was awesome though). It was a very warm night. I thought the volume was too low.
We had a great time, bargain!

They tried to restrict alcohol the year Seasick Steve, Reverend and The Makers and Massive Attack played, ended up with loads of people sat outside the fence necking everything they had, eventually word came from the boss man to give up and let everyone in... it was pretty funny at the time as I think a lot of people were rat assed when they eventually got in, I know I was.

But every year I have bought them , I have bought and handed over to who ever I like. So they have been transferable. Plus I have never needed photo id.
Exactly, I thinks it's just the standard festival ticket blurb, no id required to purchase, it's been on PP tickets for years.

Would have said it might be Bastille but they are in Argentina on Wednesday 7th September.
Bastille did it a few years back.

Back to opinions...
Macca doing the whole Lennon thing was a bit sick..Using his image like that felt wrong and distasteful but it made a few people cry who weren't even alive when Lennon was so its all good.
I didn't see owt wrong with it and I'm pretty certain it couldn't have happened without Yoko's blessing.

Ha, my wife and I did the same (her choice), to be fair we had a great spot and a good dance so it wasn't too bad (apart from the Jacko tribute mid-way through), we enjoyed it.
