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.
