Top 3 highlights for me:

Courteeners - not a fan but really enjoyed their set

Smiths Limited - Great little sing along in the House Party

Orbital - Great start to the festival

saw more bands in smaller tents this year which was great

We went along to see the Smiths Ltd. Well that was the plan. Guess who forgot that Houseparty moved a couple of years ago ?

I also enjoyed the Courteeners.

Highlights - Paul Smith, Reg Hunter and Josh Widdecombe in soapbox on Saturday. Spent 3 dry hours in there sat at the front.

The Lathums in Tim Peaks on Sunday were superb. I only knew one song before I went but it was good to see such young lads having the time of they’re lives with massive grins on they’re faces throughout.

Low points - Tom Jones, I just felt his set went on a lot longer than it needed to. 

Missing Doves due to the rain. We went to Idles who were good but I was so looking forward to the return of Doves but couldn’t handle another soaking.

Queen Zee - in House Party - best band of the festival 

Honorable mentions - Calva Louise, Billy Mitchell, Rascalton, Black Futures, Emily Capell, Idles, Dream Wife, Crystal, Hands Off Gretal,  and Red Rum Club. 

Free Lamb bar - great curry on Sunday. 

Most Disappointing - Tom Jones - got it all wrong - just play the hits Tom.

Seeing a rather mashed up Kyle Falconer in the Arena Sunday afternoon barefoot

But did he have the same jeans on?

New family camping set up.

Was with mates who had kids and was very impressed. Much better than the old place.

Loads of toilets, less walk to the car and decent breakfast in the morning. 6 quid for a big bacon roll and a cuppa.

Yes agree, this was excellent

Red Rum Club Saturday lunchtime. Thanks to Thurlow of this parish for the heads up.

Oh and @bottonrob for organising the catch up. Always fun and although my legs are killing me I’ll maybe see you next year. No doubt you’ll be still wearing that bloody safari outfit ?

 

My highlight of the weekend - blew me away!!!

Sneaking booze in was one of the easiest things of that sort I've ever done. I just wandered in with a water bottle with vodka on the Saturday and Sunday and they were fine with it.

EDIT: Calling it sneaking is an insult to sneaking.

Arkells

Orbital 

Beans

Nile Rodgers and Chic

Courteeners 

Absolute highlight is the few hours we spent at Woodlands Saturday night...

...Twisted Wheel, Fleetmac Wood (who were incredible) and a couple of hours at the silent disco. Completely piss wet through despite waterproofs, totally drunk after running out of smuggled JD and absolutely skint buying silly amounts of cocktails. Random dancing with strangers and my 24 year old son who still loves the festival scene with his Ma is priceless ❤

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
