Described as
the biggest party of the year, and following rave reviews of Saturdays
set list could Sunday live up to the hype…
12 noon, the
campers are already filling the dance tents, whilst the day ticket holders
are queuing in their 1000’s at times 100 >200 deep, security at
the gates filter revellers through and at first what seemed like a nightmare
soon turns in to festival bonding and we're in.
Where to go
first; The main stage acts don’t start until 2.45.pm With seven tents
to choose from and all bursting at the seems, each tent offers something
different. There is something for everyone, and everyone we saw from
couples taking in the atmosphere, groups of girls, groups of boys to
Scooby Doo and The Smurfs.
Need a wee,
100’s of toilets, t-shirt over the nose job? Nope and there’s toilet
roll, & that’s not all, hand sanitiser, however it does contain
alcohol which could pose a problem if the drink runs out!

2009 and the
main stage this year is in its own field, surrounded by the various
bars and eateries, Mexican, Chinese, hot and cold
baguettes & good old burger and chips.
Prompt, the
main stage kicks off with the return of Dirty Vegas who, despite the
howling wind and lack of tipsy ness, get the crowd warmed up.
Off the back
of a number one album Calvin Harris has the crowd in the palm of his
hand. Mr Harris does not disappoint mixing the relatively old with the
brand new.
5.30pm,
and 2manyjs put on an amazing Dj set, the now frantic
crowd danced to their amazing anthems.
Pouring with
rain and soaked through nothing could dampen the ever increasing crowd,
all emerging from the darkness of the dance tents into the now very
wet but clear night. Dizzee Rascal
takes to the stage and knowing his latest single is at number one it
shows in his performance. Joined by Calvin Harris
for Dance Wiv’ Me’, the crowd erupts and to finish the set
‘Bonkers’ accompanied with lights, fireworks and confetti.
Bordering on cocky the crowd lap it up and are left wanting more.
Basement Jaxx
close the festival and in no better style. From the tunes we know and
love to the much anticipated new material from their new album released
in September.
After 11 hours
of Electric, Pop, House, Dance music the atmosphere remains fun and
those with the early onset of trench foot make their way home, leaving
the campers to continue the party and eventually navigate the maze of
tents, some settling on the nearest, driest, vacant tent they find.
A superb 2009,
roll on 2010.
