The sound on the main stage on Friday was, basically, piss poor. They had it sorted by Saturday but Massive Attack didn't make the impact I was expecting. But hey, I loved it, such an improvement on last year, layout and weather (thanks god) though putting the main stage at the top of a slope wasn't the brightest idea and gave those who are slightly shorter a problem... Favorite areas: Rizla, always kicking off, Bollywood, brilliant as always. Come Dancing in the Speigel tent was just bonkers. Thoughts: more toilets, more water stations, but for venue, location, people, music, it's the best festival in the UK in my opinion. Bring in 2010!!

dancing by yourself is fine, i spent most of the time in the bollywood tent by myself as a i lost my friends basically as i got in. I didn't see massive attack but my friend said they weren't too good, i think it was just the sound on the main stage in general. It just made all of the bands sound so dull

I agree with those below, Martyn was the highlight of the festival, but I saw many many others that I really enjoyed: Sound of Rum, Micachu, Kraftwerk, Bat for Lashes, 2manydjs, Erol Alkan, 65dos, Klaxons, Passion Pit, Delphic, The Field, Casio Kids, Pivot, everyone I saw in Bollywood, The Cuban Brothers, The Shellac Collective - I danced through 20 sets, sometimes by myself :( . People were lovely - especially on the front row!

Oh no! That is just terrible! Why did they just move Metronomy to a smaller stage at an earlier time without making an announcement? Really unfair!

Metronomy never cancelled - but for some reason they got moved to the Red Bull stage at 2.30 Friday afternoon. I saw half of it and it was a good show, but the stage was far too small for them.

Why did Metronomy cancel? What a disappointment! Great festival though!

Best bits for me... Sound of Rum, WI tea tent, sunshine, Scroobius Pip, Fleet foxes, good food, dance lesson, the bandstand, Elbow, The Cuban Brothers :) Worst bit... the young, inexperienced crowd who had no idea of festival etiquette or how to behave in crowds, and not enough bins :(

Not ONE decent Bowie costume? Anyway, best acts: Kraftwerk, Lindstrom and Bat For Lashes. Most pleasantly surprised by: La Roux, Friendly Fires and Passion Pit. Most fun: Fake Bush and Fake Blood. Best dancing to be had at: Wedding Disco. Highpoint: Black Dahlia bar staff and their cocktail knowledge. Lowpoint: assorted horrendous people.

the bollywood tent was rammed full of them for certain acts which was pretty annoying, i also had a beer can threw at my head in the campsite and the guy then blamed it on the fact he spent £40 on some girl and didn't get any. the sound was awful for the main stage, 65days, kraftwerk and bloody beetroots were the highlights for me. besides that just hanging out by the flags at the main stage was cool just catching bands etc. next year i think i'll either go abroad or stick to latitude depending on line ups.
