We don't have any choice but I don't need a t-shirt for it! 🙂
On the bright side, it gets it out of the way for a nice 5 year run... notwithstanding wars, new contagious diseases and apocalypse.
Top 5 acts of the weekend for me:
1. The Cure
2. my bloody valentine
3. caroline
4. Father John Misty
5. Big Thief
Biggest disappointments:
- Slowdive (the mixing/sound just wasn’t right, and that was about 20 rows from the front of the stage)
- The xx (also too quiet and marred by talkers who had no interest in the music)
Positives from an organisational sense:
- extra water point at Mordor this year
- handing out ponchos before the rain and ear plugs before mbv
However…two of the water points had ran out on Saturday evening, which is completely unacceptable when you stop people from bringing in large bottles of water, and charge €4.50 at the bars for a 330ml can
