Yeah could not hear it very well when Andy C was on but that was because it was rammed! The speakers point in wards to keep noise levels down.
think this picture sums it up!
Sunday night was ace when Plump DJ's were on till that stupid MC came on, hate MC's they ruin it for me.

Really can't put into words just how good Glasto was.
Arcadia was such an anti-climax, Fat Boy Slims set was completely ruined by the awful sound.

Who did people enjoy most? I proper enjoyed jagwar ma most out of the bands i've never heard of section. Weirdest thing all weekend had to be Alex Turner's Sheffield/American accent though! The lowest point for me was when I trekked to see Brian Cox up at the crows nest then couldn't get in to hear him!
People moan about the price but 205 quid is unbelievable value for money when you break it all down and that is coming from a tight arse Yorkshire man.

Even though I didn't pay it, £205 is amazing value for what is a briliant few days.
So glad I didn't go to Brian Cox, I was going to but it was a trek from Dairy Grounds.
I enjoyed London Grammar in Silver Hayes and The XX on the other stage most I think.

Ended up having a decent chilled week this time round, didn't get too slaughtered and managed to see a lot more of the festival than the previous year.
Did sack off seeing the 'Stones though as it was far too busy for my liking and i thought there were far too many clashes this year but still managed to see some awesome bands; few favs from the week - Yes King, Alabama Shakes, The Lumineers, Bastille and Of Monsters and Men‎.
Only really downers was not heading to Shangri-La (yet to actually go there), not finding the underground piano bar and not seeing the Arcadia 'spider', although you could certainly hear it round the festival
So who's up for going next year? 
Edit - Tbf i thought £185 back in '10 was a little high; this year was a bit of a pee-take especially once you add fee's and car park etc. And although the 'Stone played and this apparently pushed the ticket prices up, i can't see them lowering it next year; rather i can see them keeping it the same or upping it

What i meant was, i didn't watch any of the Arcadia 'spider' shows. Obviously saw the 'spider' and i watched them testing the gas cannons for a few minutes on the Thursday but that's about it.

How much was it to park? I assumed it was free! I want to go by car hopefully next year so can take loads more stuff. Bus was too restrictive.
