The security firms contracted hire in loads of last minute staff clearly without proper training as four guards we approached coming out of another persons tent did not speak english at all, a basic requirement for the job i would assume, they managed to get away before we could establish they were going through peoples tents robbing of valuables, you would think when you see a security guard they would be the safe ones!!

i would never return to v as they have a lot to improve when you compare their standard to other festivals, far too money orientated.

Oasis were crap and Liam shouted most of the tracks (might explain why he didnt attend on Sunday). But Fat Boy Slim was top drawer.

I expected something on the Sunday night but absolutely no problems at all.

the bottom line is this; If you’re not an avid fan of +5 of the acts next year, DON’T GO! You WILL NOT be able to have a good time on the atmosphere alone (like you can at Reading), as most of the people there seemed to think that making eye contact with them was your way of saying “F*CKIN’ C’MON THEN!!!!”. It’s not worth thwe agro & you will probably get robbed in your sleep as well…….. the food was pretty good though i guess.

Oasis are allowed to go to a football match, at the end of the day they are just human beings like us, they then fulfilled their requirement to play at Weston, but I have read reviews that Liams voice was not perfect during Weston, so therefore it is perfectly acceptable that during a performance his voice would get worse, if his doctor told him not to perform or risk damaging his voice further and not being able to fulfil their own concerts, of course they are going to pull out!

If you read the terms and conditions of your tickets, you will find that under no circumstances will refunds be given if the lineup changes.

Its not good that people were breaking into your tents, but comeon, cutting peoples wristbands off whilst sleeping?!?! I have 2 responses to this…A) If people wouldn’t get so completely wasted and ruin the festival for the genuine music lovers out there, they would notice someone in their tent at night! and B) Utter lies people are telling to make you feel sorry for them when they probably got drunk and for a laugh cut them off.

In my opinion, Saturday was an awesome day, was pretty close to the front for Pendulum and ended up with a sore back from some serious bouncing during their set, one of the best gigs of my life, Killers were pretty good, although didn’t set the world alight in my opinion, Sunday was equally as awesome, having a good sing along to the Proclaimers and Lightning Seeds, then finishing the day off with the single greatest gig of my life, Snow Patrol, Hearing the whole crowd singing along during Run and Chasing Cars sent shivers down my spine, this is what Festivals are all about, hearing some great music and hearing some bands you wouldn’t normally listen to, the Noisettes were also pretty good, she is a good Front Person for the band and certainly got the crowd going.

My only 2 groans about the whole weekend were A) It felt a lot more crowded than last year, even just walking from the 4Music Stage to the V Stage was hell, I could deal with it though, and B) The few in the Yellow camp that thought a Riot at 1-2am was a good idea on the Sunday night, why is it some people just cannot handle alcohol and have to act so immaturely? I’m 27 and drank quite a bit over the weekend, but still managed to have a good time just chillin and listening to the music, then using the camp for what it is supposed to be for, chatting and sleeping, if you want to riot, then go somewhere else and do it, not somewhere where some people are trying to sleep!!!!
