Best Act: Keep flipping between Flaming Lips and Kate Tempest. I think it will ultimately go down as Kate Tempest.

Best Song: Kate Tempest's new one was ace but not certain of the title. Think it was People's Faces?

Best Discovery: Joseph

Most Frequented Stage: Pyramid (First Aid Kit, The xx, Bootleg Beatles, National, Foos, Laura Marling, Barry Gibb)

Best Act: Radiohead

Best Song: All these things that I've done

Best Discovery: Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes

Most Frequented Stage: John Peel - basically spent all Sunday there

I think exactly this. Although I probably wouldn't go out of my way to listen to Frank Carter that set was such good fun, if he's at a festival I'm at again I will go down!

Best Act - Flaming Lips

Best Song - Do You Realize

Discovery - finding out Beans on Toast was doing a secret set on the Sunday, having missed him the night before.

Most Frequented - Pyramid. Only one headliner, but more on during the day that appealed than there has been the last few years.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
