[7 - No tomorrow]

Ah, man, you skipped Run The Jewels?

Stomping set.

Sleafords was deadly. Loved the fake ending.

Didn't go this year but what was the stage setup like? Is it still that big long trek from one end of the site to the other that they introduced in the last 4 or so years? And the big stage with the amphitheater-style seating woefully under-used?

There is still that

They run a shuttle now too though

Oh yeah, in 2011 or 2012, they had shuttle Mini's (a sponsor) going back and forth from the food area to the stages way down by the sea front.

I don't mind the walk, unless I'm late

In view of all the other unhealthy activities I'd be engaging in at that weekend

Sounds great, except of course the bit where you said Belle & Sebastian are good which is, as always, utter fucking nonsense.

I'm not really a fan but there are two or three songs I really really like and they played exactly those songs over the course of the ten minutes or so I was watching them ...

They put on a pure fan service set. Exactly as it should be at these things. And they are as Primavera a band as there is.
It was a total party.

My only worry was when they got people from the front to come up and dance on stage.
One of the fuckers up there was wearing a RTJ t-shirt (RTJ were on an hour later). Shows you how early some motherfuckers are getting there.

He was the only one not singing along or even dancing. He was just taking photos of the whole thing.
I have an eye for the odd fish.

I upped my game accordingly. Fewer bands, better spots.

What a complete and utter bastard.
I hope you threw some cardigans at him

Yeah I should have gone to RTJ. You make your choices, you have to live with them. Forgot about the Sleaford Mods false ending. That was great. "Where the fuck do you lot think you're going?"

"Where the fuck do you lot think you're going?"

And we all came running back.

 

[NoNo]

Great review, I saw quite a few of the same bands, but found sunn0)) to be absolutely wretched and a real endurance test and played at a deangerously loud volume.
