Used to love this festival in the initial years when it ran for a week with a headliner plus few support, could grab a few tickets off eBay when weather was confirmed and go down after work? £20 per night or so

I am obviously getting old as most of the acts look st to me, I have no interest in Jessie j, minaj, Tulisa and Cher Lloyd rofl
Never heard of afrojack and j cole.

Looks like Friday is best day by far - deadmaus, maverick sabre and metric looks good

Last year was decent, had some good acts. This year, the Saturday and Sunday look like chav heaven!

So excited to see Deadmau5 though.

Went on the Saturday last year and gave up on the Nero set quickly as the tent turned into a cesspit of stoned idiots; aphex twin played an immense set though as did the Chems. Some of the supporting acts look great this year but they really seem to be trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator with regards to headliners.

Deadmau5 can take or leave; think he's generally quite innovative but some mainstream sounding rubbish seeps in at times imo. that headpiece he wears though is quite something.

I was there last year saturday. Didn't bother seeing Nero as I knew it would be full of the usual 'rave' sort.

Best act imo last year was The Streets or Chemical Brothers.

Might be an age thing boxedin pushing 30 now, just remember Aphex Twin playing a really striped out D'n'B set as the sun was setting. just one of those great moments... the amount of empty baggies on the floor were unbelievable though eek chems were really good too but whole thing finished way too early for my tastes. Ended up in Fabric till 5 or 6 which wasn't ideal as I had to drive my brother back to Cardiff on the Sunday.

Anyway, no not going this year, line up doesn't excite me at all. The unwind stage looks alright but some of the times are a joke. 20 minutes for the Koan Sound set, that it!?

I went on the Friday.

Saturday didn't appeal to me what-so-ever.
Lots of desperate girls shouting out 'yolo' or whatever it is.
No Thanks.


Glad you enjoyed it though.

Really wanted to see him but we got in just as his set finished (Right on time to see Modestep though)

It sounds like we have the same music taste..

I also went on the Saturday, loved it.

Who did you see?

I missed Dot Rotten, The-Dream, Sway, The Weeknd.. Really wanted to see all of those, but the people I was with wanted to see the more mainstream people. I've seen Drake a few times but with Nicki & The Weeknd on stage too was cool.

Saw; Rita, Pro Green, Angel, Wiz, Drake, Nicki and The Weeknd.

Saw Drake at the 02 earlier in the year, but I could listen to him live every day. Was so sick when Nicki and The Weeknd came on with Drake. Thought Wiz Khalifa was amazing too.

Ah cool, I was also at the O2 in March.. Was a real good night! We queued from 11am.. Did get about 5 people from the front though!

Really liked Wiz too, haven't seen him before, but will definitely go and see him again sometime.

Tempted by Nicki tickets for her tour, Tyga is going too.

Tyga would be worth the price on his own.
