i dunno its hard
i had a few ppl ask me the same.

Highlights were Jamie T, Gossip, Klaxons, Kings of Leon I would say for me. What about u? Enter Shikari in the radio 1 stage was mad!!

I didnt really think much of the chili peppers but I think I have to be in the right mood for them. Live they were really good.

I didnt go last year. Last time I went before this year was 2004

My favs were Arcade Fire, Kings and Gallows!! Frank from Gallows had a 'reading 2007' tattoo on stage it was mad!!! HE also climbed the pole in the middle of hte tent and jumped into the crowd, mad s**t haha!! oh 2004!!! was that when 50 cent played and didnt last 20 mins?!

the darkness went down alright to be honest but bear in mind, there was still a lot of hype around them then.
