riot is a huge exaggeration. there were a lot of poser cunts though and they dont seem to respect the hardcore line-up judging by the photos on the website.

one of the highlights was overhearing the following conversation in the middle of the night, when tucked away in my tent: young girls: "hello!" guys next door: "uh... hi!" girls: "do we look like midgets to you?" guys: "a little, yeah." girls: "well... how old do we look?" guys: "about ten." girls: "ACTUALLY, we're eleven."

Riot? Hardly! Apparently someone made a hoax call to the police, it was just typical idiots you get on campsites. The festival was AMAZING, so many incredible bands. Wild Beasts were awesome, as was the secret performance by Gramme and shitloads of other stuff. Bo Ningen!!!! Lovely atmosphere and the sports day was well fun.

catatonicxtoy, I agree entirely there were many very very upsetting human beings about. The fact that about a third of the photo coverage on the website is like some kind of Vice Magazine street fashion coverage is especially worrying........ You can say what you like about (slightly horrific) festivals like Reading but at least it's an unpretentious crowd!!!

chaileywatts - VERY good point. but - I could've done without the dodgy hairy chests waggling in my face! ;) and agreed about the security - for the whole of a certain ratio a security guard stood in front of my sister and refused to step down to let her see.

Ha! Must've been out cold for all that rioting 'cause I don't remember a thing!

I back up the comments about the security, they should be there to keep you safe, but all they did was create a hostile and aggressive atmosphere. Also a real shame about the idiots on the campsite on Sunday night, this festival has so much to offer in terms of line-up and providing an alternative to other events out there, but it decended into Reading/ Leeds territory, and the security added to this. Hope it can be sorted out for next year.

Thats because they were all too busy not wanting to do their jobs. When we asked why we werent allowed back into the arena at 11pm one of them said because they didnt want to have to be walking around asking people to leave when the acts were finished.
