"They opened up the campsite beside the beach after they said they wouldnt. Some people may have paid for the vip area. But im happy as ive heard good things about the facilities."

‎1. Calvin Harris
2. Gorillaz
3. Cut Copy
4. Foals
5. Temper Trap
6. Ian Brown
7. Julian Casablancas
8. Goldfrapp
9. Scratch Perverts
10. The Prodigy

Great weekend. Sunday's lineup was bit poor though. the big pint and half were nearly too big . I'd say it was populated by 90% English. Need a few stronger acts next year. Disgusted I missed Fionn Regan but saw him walking down on Saturday and gave him a big shout out and he saluted back

1 The Specials
2 Mumford and Sons
3 Ash
4 Vampire Weekend (great band but Mumford stole their thunder)
5 Julian Casablancas

Fionn Was such a pure hearted lovely chap!
He seemed so modest and nervous on stage it was so sweet!
some guy in the crowd started shouting that they loved him and he just stops and goes "i love you too".

Does anybody else agree that the drug dealers were actually very friendly and polite? most of them actually exused themselves for interupting a conversation, i found it mad.

I cant beleive nobody gave a shoutout to dizzee rascal yet. im not a big dizzee fan but he put on one hell of a show and was a real crowd pleaser. and when he played bonkers as the encore the entire place errupted, it was awsome.
im well going next year!

Definitely agree! I couldn't believe how ubiquitous they were, and how unobtrusive. There was an old woman selling "space cakes" in Benicamp (God knows how she got in), and she was all smiles and asking everyone how they were. Until she pulled out the drugs my mate was convinced she was some sort of FIB representative sent to take care of us! :rolleyes:

I offered a load of pills over the weekend there. Very strange that I saw no trouble at all

Take it back. The facilities in benni camp were pretty basic.

thesultan

Was there showers there?

thesultan

Will any of it be shown on tv?

oppiuy

Yeah but you had to que. I though it would be 1 big communal shower and you could hop straight in.they were cold but that was a good thing. The cleaners did a pretty good job as well.

Theres stuff up on youtube. It was fantastic
