Probably the worst festival I've been to

Piss poor organisation and waaaaay too many people.

Arctic Monkeys and Simian MD put on a good show, Prodigy was meant to be good but we had to watch them on the big screen since the Boiler Room was full.

Fairly heavy police presence and quite a few people were getting pinged by the dogs as they got off the train. We saw one guy get padded down and the police confiscated a 12 inch hunting knife. WTF???

yer set up was pretty average no where near as good as stereosonic imo ! ...lupe, artic monkeys, pendulum, prodigy, birds of tokyo all put on good shows ... was pretty dissapointed with the living end thought they would have been a bit better. Way too many people there though 38,000?? all in all was a good day !

yeh i didnt go, and thats because of the crowds. my friend was a volenteer for the ambos there, and she was saying that it wasnt too bad, the only serious patient they had was a 17 yr old girl who was rushed to them by security, and her eyes had glazed ova and was prety much in a coma, and i just heard that the girl died last nyte or early thismorning of a drug overdose.
makes me feel better that i spent the day at the beach...

Boiler room was fucking insane when Prodigy came on, I've never seen that many people in one place ever. Compared to last year when LCD sound system & Carl Cox finished up at the Boiler room there would have been 4-5 times more people this year.

agreed i was about in the middle and ther was people as far as i could see in both directions one of the best sets i have seen every single person in the crowd loved it !

From what I can remember in Melb, RATM was playing same time as Cox though, and while I love my hard dance more than the next guy, I really went to see RATM, so that might have something to do with the oodles more people...
