blink 182

[Benj]

Being 100% honest. They had a semi big crowd when they started, but the crowd was getting smaller and smaller as it went on. We were sat at the back and were amazed at the amount of people buggering off.

Dunno where they went though.... f**k all anyone at Klaxons either.

Couldn't have been standing in the crowd much then

Where i was there were hundreds leavings, it was a never endering flow of people.

Facts don't hurt me? I've seen bigger crowd before. All i've said was is "yes, they had a big crowd. But it got smaller and smaller throughout the set"... it was still a big crowd but there was 100% a nonestop crowd of people leaving. That is a fact.

Plus Rage, Metallica, The Prodigy, The Libertines, Paramore, Kings Of Leon off the top of my head all had bigger crowds.

although i had fun i found them a completley underwhelming sunday headliner. It kinda summed up the festival, good in patches but kinda just rolled past without much notice.

probably one of the worst final bands of the weekend ive seen. at least despite having a small crowd, Smashing Pumpkins gave it a go and put on a performance. Plus with recent weekend closers like iron maiden, metallica, pearl jam, radiohead and green day, Blink would stick out like a sore thumb on that list

[Vieuphoria]

So we all agree....

Weezer should have headlined

Didn't watch Blink - was only there for the Saturday - but I thought that the main stage sound was pretty awful all day.

Nah honestly they did. I thought Paramore were pretty dull, but my god that crowd was huge. By far the biggest, if not one of the biggest of the entire weekend. Bloody huge.

I watched about the first 45 minutes of blink, near the front at the side, then watched 15 minutes of British Sea Power, then watched the end of them from the back, there were so many people leaving I couldnt believe it, iv never watched a main stage headliner from that close to the back, so wasnt sure if thats normal or not.

The sound was so much better on the main stage this year! Usually it sounds all washy and quiet, but this time it was clear and loud. Could still be louder but a huge improvement this year nonetheless.

yeah it really wasn't ha

[ampersand]

It wasn't. The mixture of booze & excitement clouds your judgment.

[Leocadius]

No offence Vieuphoria but you are talking absolute cobblers. It was the biggest main stage crowd and nobody but absolutely NOBODY left till it was over. I've ever seen and they were the best band of the entire weekend.

The sound is never going to get back to it's original level but if you can make the bands out, who cares. I haven't had more fun for a headliner since Green Day.
