Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Com, The 1975 were superb on Main on the friday. I went into it thinking it'd be shite (the last 2 times I've seen them haven't been good) but I went away thinking they'd smashed it.

My top marks go to:

Biffy Clyro (Of course, although it was very strange seeing them in daylight in a small crowd, looking forward to seeing them again in August when they'll play to a sold out crowd the way the Gods intended)

Oscar and the Wolf (They played mostly new songs and still had everybody mesmerized)

Twenty One Pilots & Royal Blood (Two duos who know how to set a crowd alight).

I have to say I enjoyed everyone I saw, I didn't feel let down by anyone's performance.

Did it rain a lot this year?

Too hot the first/second day - his 34degrees at one point. But then there was a bit of rain on the saturday, most notably throughout The Black Keys, stopped for Pearl Jam though thankfully. The Sunday afternoon though was ridiculously wet. I got so wet I ended up puking blood from being so cold and damp. It came on pretty suddenly as well on the sunday.

Ouch , you okay now?

I kept myself warm by dancing around after that super fast torrent of rain. We'd literally just left camp as a friend had dragged us to go see Bastille and we had to take cover under the hive tent until it died down. We'd walked in it for 2 minutes tops and I was soaked to the bone.

I even had a poncho thing on but my jeans soaked up the water so bad I felt like I was sitting in a bath, even when I was under the tent!

[Babyquack]

My poncho kept me bone dry

Shut up you. My tent was also shite - when it rained it leaked from the top and I woke up with a sizeable puddle. I had to wrap everything up in bin bags every night!

One observation from the festival this year is the need for screens outside the tent stages and decent sound. Only band i really missed seen due to this was the Eels and left the campsite a bit worse for wear but in plenty of time - damn heart palpitations caused by Red Bull!! But we couldnt get into the tent i think the rain at the time didn't help either as people dashed for cover. But i hope they can do what they have done at pukklepop.

How come they don't do screens outside the tents?

Seeing this implemented at Leeds is something I definitely feel could and should be implemented at RW. The tents were insanely hot at times and I'd have much rather preferred to watch from the outside.
