Did anyone on here go?
Or watch the highlights?

Im gutted I missed out, third year in a row I havent been able to go as work wouldnt give me 2 days off..... grrrrrrrrrr!!

So been sat here watching all the live webcasts, been great fun!

Highlight for me personally has to be The Arcade Fire, those guys (and girls) were completely amazing.
Get Cape Wear Cape Fly! were pretty good as well.....

And for anyone that saw, how cool was Nine Inch Nails stage set-up with that blanket of lights in front of them?

Watched some of the highlights, the crowds seemed awesome, jumping up and down and moshing at every opportunity!
Also good to see Smashing Pumpkins back on the scence!

I only wanted to go to see Jimmy Eat World. Apparantly they did two sets in Leeds (one before Maximo Park on the Main Stage and another on the punk stage).

Upsetting.

Im also more gutted, as I usually go to Leeds.....
Anyway I allways had a ritual of going to see the first band in the Carling Tent everyday... just good to see unknown bands play

Found out this year that on Friday a band called Hook For Hands played first in the Carling Tent.......

5 minutes after they came on stage, the tent was PACKED, people were queueing outside to get in, sheer chaos....

The reason? Hook For Hands were actually The Kaiser Cheifs..... gutted Crying or Very sad
