The Jacksons

[Bosslar]

Is it just me? Or were they genuinely woeful. Had misgivings, obviously, but sounded like the vocals had deliberately been turned down? Terrible disappointment 

[Lizzim]

Me too, the sound was terrible. Had to leave,

[Muppetmark]

The wind was completely against the speakers.  Terribly unlucky

[Crazyfool01]

Crowd shouting turn it up to little effect  

[mjsell]

I had a great time, I was about 10 rows from the front though. 

I got everything I hoped for with their set. 

[milly16]

Just awful so we left 

[Earthwindandfire2205]

I was right at the front and it was brilliant fun. Had a great group round me who danced and sang for the whole set.

[DJL]

Yeah the sound was terrible where we were but no doubt it was great down the front

[Avalon_Fields]

We weren't that far back but even there the sound was fuzzy and too quiet, we didn't last the full set

[waterfalls212434]

Fucking bollocks it was how they could have the sound that bad and not do anything about it was beyond me did they have no sound guy near the back or? Piss poor for a headline set volume wise. I won't lie it just made the night get off to a crap start we were really looking forward to a bit of a boogie before heading out for the night but it was just a muffled mess. Wish I'd gone to see foos at least pyramid sound guys seem to know their stuff this year!

Liam G and the avalanches where the same where we stood. Unlistenable with the sound issues

[CaledonianGonzo]

The vocals were a bit quiet but it sounded mostly OK at the front.

Really enjoyed it, barring Tito's solo album spot.

[FloorFiller]

The sound better be incredible tonight for Justice.

Started back left and then walked across the back to the back right and didn't notice any change of sound at all.

Wind must have really been effecting it but it was crazy how much the volume would change every few seconds

Just try and get forward and central and it will be fine

[Smeble]

I was near the front and the atmosphere was fantastic, I had high hopes and low expectations but the were bloody fantastic, I had a shitty day, really low so decided the jacksons were a better bet than the foos, I was absolutely buzzing afterwards

[fatyeti24]

 same thing with the avalanches. Id waited a lot of years to see them, and I could see the band doing the business, but the sound, for whatever reason, was awful. 

Left halfway through, disappointed. 

[garc1a]

It was terrible and it couldnt have anything to do with the time of performance as dizzee was excellent the night before on the same stage.

They just won my worst show ive seen at glasto award. I left after a few songs and thier jive bunny style mix of hits. There was zero atmosphere in the field, only a few cheers from the front rest of the field was like a grave yard.

Brutal. I passed by the back side of it and heard 'Can You Feel It' but decided not to indulge them and headed onward. Sounds like I missed a bullet. 

At WH now waiting for an overdue Shaggy. Sound does seem to be a little inconsistent. Starting to re-think Justice now. 

[Fork_UK]

Didn't see the Jacksons, but the sound for The Avalanches was terrible too. It was because the wind was blowing from behind the audience towards the stage, carrying the sound away from the audience. Not a lot the sound crew can do about it. It's just a hazard of having outdoor stages.

[Alcatraz]

I was near the front so unaware of the sound issues bar some low vocals that tbh at the time I put down to being 4 old boys

I had a great time though. 

Tito's songs were hilariously bad though. Down with the kids yo!

Absolutely bouncing where I was

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

I had a wonderful time, ended up at Greenpeace afterwards where Jarvis Cocker was DJ. Up there with one of the best nights I've had there.
