Aye, he had plenty of time to play longer if he wanted. Was on stage pretty much 9pm on the dot and finished about 10.15ish.

Disgustingly short set for the price really, good job the support acts were all top notch to make it worth the money. Eminem was really good, just not long enough.

Really enjoyed Eminem. Annoyed he was 15 minutes late but his set made up for it. Not been a fan of Recovery or Relapse but glad to see he played a lot of old stuff. The whole 1 verse/1 chorus thing I complained about really worked well. Dido coming out was awesome.

I'm sure others will moan about miming. He was just rapping over a backing track really, I'm okay with that. He got more into it as the night got on it seems.

It was really noticeable on one of the older songs where he had a bit of a higher pitched, nasal style, I knew then that it wasn't just the hype man.

He wasn't "miming" though, he was legitimately rapping over the backing track. Fine by me. As said, Stan was all him.

He was rapping to a vocal track for the most part it was a lot more noticeable at the beginning, as his mic was really low in the mix until he played Stan, which he did on his own and made it blatantly obvious he had been using a vocal track before, all though after that point you could hear him over the track and not the other the way round and he seem to use it less & less as the set went on. Still very enjoyable however.

      Travelling to and from the site on a day ticket

      By TheFellaLondon · Posted

      Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By pipan · Posted

      I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.

      Visiting the site outside the festival

      By phil the shrew · Posted

      After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare
