Second time for me. Had a really great time and the weather was about perfect.
My very minor moans - as others have said, the toilets seemed less and worse (lack of urinals then impacted on the portaloo queues). Phone signal was again pretty much non existent which I don’t really mind for personal use but it does impact on the traders and was annoying for so many of them having to go cash only.
Best areas: the woods after the bands - karaoke and disco ship. The whole garden area.
best food - Luardo’s nachos for me. So much good stuff there though.
My favourite stage acts: Hot Chip, Squid, Pan Amsterdam, Little Simz (she should be massive, I wish I’d seen more), Porridge Radio, KJP. Close behind were Jane Weaver, Anna Meredith, Billy Nomates, Stereolab. No compromising from Sleaford Mods and I enjoyed it but it wasn’t really one for the neutral 🙂
Slight disappointments: Teleman, BCNR as much as I like them left me a bit flat. Not sure why. Went to the second half of Albarn and enjoyed the last 20 minutes. After being bored by the Worthy Farm stuff I knew what to expect with the rest. Dry Cleaning were great but the lyrics got a bit lost which are such a massive part of it.
I’m back next year. Even with this year’s ‘reduced’ line up there is so much more than you can ever realistically see and some pretty hard decisions with clashes.
