I was really looking forward too....

[Bluearsedfly]

We all have those moments were we pre plan as no brainers, definately going to see.

I had a few that simply disappointed IMO, anyone else?

For me it was Fleet Foxes. Too big an arena for their sound to fill?

[Singularity]

deadmau5, he was great and everything, but his set wasnt really that special and the crowd weren't either.

The Maccabees. I've loved them since way before their first album, and I was really pleased to see what a big crowd they got on the Other Stage.

But the sound seemed dreadful and they just didn't make any impact at all. Real shame.

[Red Day]

Agree with Fleet Foxes thing. Not sure if they got a massive shock when the went on stage at the sight in front of them.

They had the sun shining and the tunes for a perfect set but sadly it didn't happen for them

[hughesie]

Fleet Foxes for me too

Was really looking forward to them but they didn't cut it on the Pyramid.

Kind of reminded me of when Kings Of Leon played the Pyramid first time before Oasis.

[Detective McNulty]

Crosby Stills and Nash were very boring.

[Discoduck]

Definitely fleet foxes. Love their album but they just looked bewildered throughout. Being sandwiched between NERD and Lilly Allen can't have helped!

[Yokel Again]

Agreed on Fleet Foxes. I thought it might be the spot we would stood in had crap sound, but maybe from others comments it was the same elsewhere. it just didn't translate, unfortunately. Bring them back next year headlining somewhere nice and small. i think alot people there didnt know too many songs (if any) and where obv there to check out a massively critically acclaimed band. I just hope they weren't all disappointed as i've seen FF before somewhere small and they were simply amazing that time.

[pie_and_a_pint]

Maccabees. Dull as shit...

[ramragon]

Crosby Stills and Nash were very boring.

[Crouchie]

Kasabian.

That was supposed to be one of my highlights and I thought they were cr@p. going to see them tonight too and cant be arsed now

i think it was mostly sound problems though

[scmusic]

I'll tell you what didn't help there, Pete Tongs set before Deadmau5 was one of the most uninspired thing I have witnessed. Nearly and probably should have added him onto my opening post!

[Aragorn]

saw Pete doherty but was underwelmed, his performance on the park stage last year was more intimate and much better, he did play albion though so willl let him off only slightly lol

cue loads of people slagging him off...I know most people dislike the boy

[howlin_pete]

Eagles Of Death Metal at 2am in Trash City. Made it just in time, only for them not to turn up. Had a great time in Dragstrip though so all wasn;t lost!

[tom_180]

Again, must agree with the Fleet Foxes thoughts. I don't think it was their fault as much as poor line-up organisation though; it seems the stages and times are arranged by the band's popularity, which is a shame because it should be obvious that Fleet Foxes are far more suited to a smaller stage or tent, regardless of how popular they've been in the last year. The same goes for the Maccabees, whose vocals are pretty softed and struggle to carry across a huge field.

[MEGABOWL]

Fleet Foxes-just on the wrong stage

Kasabian

[greg1999]

kasabian. didn't bother seeing them at creamfields last year, thought i'd give them a look.

really wish i didn't.

[alframsey]

Madness for me. Didn't quite do it for me, they were good, but not as good as I thought they'd be!

[crimsonking]

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y, was really looking forward to this, was going to be my highlight to end the festival with a bang, ended up more like a whimper with low sound, 1 hour set, no encore, and Maxim, just shut the f**k and play the f**kin' music. I'm sure those down the mosh pit loved it but then they'd probably be so wasted they'd crowd circle to a monkey bashing around on a drum kit.

Brand new, one of my favourite bands of the last few years..I generally enjoyed it, but tiny uninterested crowd (not helped by them being shifted forward so their set ended around when they were scheduled to start) and jessie basically screamed half the songs, not the highlight I'd hoped for.

[sweaver]

josh wink for me. the sound was too quiet (health and safety reasons apparantly - not jw fault i guess). the crowd did not seem to be into it, neither did Josh really. Didnt hang around for too long.
