2013 Lineup

[2rare2die]

I didn't see one bit of real trouble at Leeds all weekend, the only thing that disappointed me was some people's apparent disregard for people around them. Saw a lot of people just trying to push people out of the way during Chase and Status (who I thought killed it by the way) to get further in, and the people next to us seemed not to give a shit at the amount of people they knocked over with their 'dancing'. Still had a thoroughly good weekend though.

As I walked up to Tame Impala from Foals, I saw about 3 people square up to each other who presumably were heading to C+S, but other than that I didn't really see any trouble. I'm certainly glad I watched Tame Impala though as the crowd was so chilled and nice.

[thelionsmouth]

I didn't see much trouble either, bit of confrontation in disclosure and saw some guy grab another's throat during Foals, but nothing serious. Still some twats about but much, much less than expected.

Top 5 acts, everyone?

Mine would have to be:

1. Crystal fighters

2. Tame

3. Alt-J

4. Peace

5. Knife Party

bastille, johnny marr, jim jones revue, green day, kimbie, china rats, all excellent too.

[thelionsmouth]

how was enter shikari's 'sound system'? I was intrigued, but saw mount kimbie instead (who were sick).

Am I the only one on these forums who watched Filter? I would have thought with all the alt-90s-rock love and NIN in particular SOMEONE ELSE would have known and cared about them?

I thought they absolutely stormed it, set of the weekend in my eyes and I'm desperate to see them do a UK tour. I was right at the front and centre for them having been about 2 rows back for ASIWYFA and it was astounding, shocked me quite how good they were.

[Dead throne]

Well all my friends went to see them, and said they were amazing, but they also called NIN and Biffy shit continually all weekend, so I don't believe them

[kaosmark2]

I wanted to watch them but in the end my 12 year old self took over and I went down to FOB, sorry

[thetime]

What sort of reception did dido get?

[Com Truise]

FAIL!

Your loss though

[Muppetmark]

It is, but I enjoyed the last half of FOB because they played my favourite songs in it probably wouldn't have enjoyed Filter as much as I don't know them well enough yet

[mrtourette]

Good to hear that apart from a load of extra scrotes around (particularly on the Eminem day as expected) there are generally positive reviews from the weekend.

[ToffeePopcorn]

Anyone see Alt-J and if so what did they think?

[Com Truise]

I ended up catching most of FOB anyway after Filter, what with heading in straight after they finished to get forward for NIN. Didn't enjoy them at all, bland, cheesy and generally just a bit w*nk. Like all pop-punk!

[dentalplan]

So many R+L bands have announced gigs or tours off the back of the festival. I don't understand why bands with this sort of audience don't announce tours in the weeks following student loan instalments.

[Hart Attack]

[huntyyy]

One of the guys I was camped with went and saw Alt J and said it was fantastic, he also said the tent was Rammed (Reading).

[Dan R]

I saw quite a few people on the sunday at leeds with alt-j t-shirts or written on their faces so I can imagine they got a reasonable crowd too. Despite the hate for them on here I really like both the album and their live shows, very chilled and atmospheric.

[thetime]

that would make logical sense. im not a student myself but this week is going to be a killer. Editors, White Lies, Foals, Frank Turner and Peace tickets to get

[Andre91]

The best special guest had to be Tempa T during Chase and Status' set. Me and my mate were saying how awesome it would be if he came out, and then, what do you know... TEMPZZZZZZ! And he comes running out, awesome
