Any one here going? I got my tickets a month or so back. Cannot bloody wait.

Not only is this my first Festival and pretty much and sort of concert for many years, i'm going as someone who is learning quitar!!

For some reason that last fact seems to be making this event so much more exciting.

Can't wait for the time top come..

Looks like its gonna be a good one. The lineup is great: Coldplay, Prodigy, Foo Fighters

According to the old feller, The Who.

I was there in 2004, but not sure if I can go this year because of money and other things I have on

Great looking lineup this year, and awesome first festival. Much more friendly than V/Leeds/Reading etc. The weather is nearly always awesome at that time of year as well :cool:

yeah all sold out now, but going on ebay if you don't mind paying a little extra, can't wait though

there were loads of people sat on the hills last year, bagging a free fest

this was just awesome.

i went straight to the front on the sunday, and was standing around for 7 hours waiting for coldplay. lou reed, richard ashcroft, and coldplay of course were all absolutely awesome.

i was lucky to be where i was - shame i didnt't take a proper camera tho!

i just really hope they will release a dvd of all the sets

fyi i was a bit disappointed by foo fighters, and i couldnt hack it in the crowd, people just went mad, whereas coldplay was crushed but people weren't 'pushing'

ian

awesome food and weather as well

_Jimlad_ · 14 Jun 2006 at 09:35

it was a great weekend... i spent a fair bit of time in the VIP section again

blag blag

Delays were good, i loved the Kooks and Richard Ashcroft topped it for me, i was Ill for the Foo's chucking up in a hedge!

Apparently the sound system was broken for the Foos, tis why they did't have avery good sound until the conclusion of 'Everlong', luckily for me that's the only song I really wanted to hear.
THE PRODIGY WERE AWESOME!!!!!
