I've got tickets for the sunday! Definately looking forward to it, should be a good day out and a great way to forget my thesis!

It's me grans 80th birthday on the saturday, so didn't have a choice of days, but needless to say I was very glad to hear the Prodigy were headlining!

I applied for Saturday before The Prodigy were announced for the Sunday, and really hope that they will be doing a good mix of stuff in their set, rather than just cherry picking songs from their (excellent) new album. They'll be awesome no matter what.

Sunday has some excellent bands on the smaller stages to keep you entertained whilst the ethnic urban pop tripe polutes the air on the main stage before the prodigy hehe

I'm not going, wish I was.

If you like Fabio & Grooverider, I would recommend Chase & Status.

BBC Introducing Stage: 2ManyDJs

They've only been around about 10 years.

Nice work Auntie rofl

Oh and you really want to see that if you can, 7500 clubbers singing along to Dolly Parton is a sight that will live with me forever.

Like others have said, 2ManyDJs will likely be the most fun you can spend in a tent with hundreds of other sweaty people

Who else went then?

I had a great day out on Saturday. Really enjoyed myself. Deadmau5 and Snow Patrol were my highlights of the day.

Enjoyed the Prodigy at hull surround volume, with a can, but it wasn't the same frown As much as I'd have like to see them on the Sunday, the rest of the line up on the main stage was utter ste.
