3 day event. Had a nice hotel only 10mins away from the festival.A great festival. Some fantastic acts. Page & Plant were brilliant. New Order were fantastic. Garbage were ok. Biggest disappointment was that Curve pulled out last minute. I’m sure that made someone less nervous about their performance 😉

I ended up going to this one as my mate Andy was having problems with his girlfriend, so, he offered me the ticket. At the time, i was in a pretty bad place personally, so i was really undecided. But in the end it was a case of “lets stick together when these women are fucking up our lives!”. If i’m honest, at the time i didn’t really enjoy the show. However, some years later i found a bootleg CD of the show that was recorded from the soundboard & i’m enjoying the gig now…just about 15 years later lol
