Had a great weekend, walked over 80 miles over the 5 days!
First two days are always the best, walking round the site and having adventures. Saw two brass bands on Thursday, one doing hip hop covers and the other indie/pop.
From the main stages I thoroughly enjoyed Royal Blood, had seen them before in smaller venues so amazed how well they filled the stage. Dizzee Rascal on west holts the sound was terrible and it took a good while for the crowd to get going. Katy Perry was alright but didn't play enough of her big singles. Foo Fighters did what you'd expect of them, Dave Grohl is always a great frontman (enjoyed the Under Pressure cover immensely). Barry Gibb was great for the Sunday afternoon but then Chic were just phenomenal. Enjoyed Biffy as well. Left before Ed Sheeran.
Think I saw more smaller stages and spent more time in the south east corner than I have before. Nice seeing random acts like Sophie Ellis Bextor, Busted (they closed the Avalon field it was that busy) and The Mavericks.
The heat on Wednesday was horrendous, was 30c+ so bringing in all our gear wasn't easy. Thankfully it dropped to manageable levels after that, think it rained for more than 10 minutes about 3 times all weekend so that added to just how great it was. Gutted there won't be one now until 2019.
