Don't get me wrong, I'm no Kasabian fan but The XX are one of the dullest acts I've ever heard! Other than Romy's voice, I can't think of a single positive. Songs are almost indistinguishable, they're so monotonous.
I'd heard the opposite, from many people who've seen them recently. Horses for courses I guess.
I first went in 2010 and even though it doesn't feel like it changed that much a few things that stand out. The crowd was a 'bit' more crusty, legal high stalls, raves in the market, more campsite/ SH dealers, site was less "pretty", cans sold by blokes on the railway track (still going in 2019), stages were generally just tents with speakers in.
