Back From V

So I’ve finally been able to come home from work a write a post on V Fest 09. I’ve been totally knackered over the past couple of days and have pretty much come home from work and gone staight to bed! It is so nice sleeping on a soft surface rather than a stone ridden field that is Weston Park.

So how was V Fest I hear you ask? Well it so awesome! Actually awesome doesn’t do it justice! I had an amazing time at V this year as I did last year. I think the only difference in the awesomeness is that this year on the Saturday and Sunday there was not a drop of rain. I’m feeling the affects now. I got extremely burnt!

I think the best act I saw all weekend would have to be Pendulum. If I remember right it was their last tour gig and they made it count. I was at the front for most of it and saw at least 3 people get carted off by paramedics! (They couldn’t take how awesome it was!) They play amasingly. I’m very much a fan of Pendulum’s music but they are amasing live! I recommend seeing them to anyone. My next favourite act of the weekend would hands down be Snow Patrol. It was very emotional on the Saturday evening. The crowd kept singing along to songs after they had finished for a couple of verues I didn’t think the band new what to do.. Sing along or play the next song.. .

As it didn’t get the campsite didn’t get flooded again this year. It was nice to be able to chill out in the evening with a nice (not so cold) beer. I choose not to drink in the arena as it is so expensive but a few drinks in the evening went down a treat! The first night was pretty cold but I think my sun burn kept me warm the rest of the nights which was nice but painful!

I had hoped to update facebook/twitter with the antics I was getting up to at V but as cool as the iPhone is.. The battary doesn’t last very long and when I did have it turned on to update facebook it didn’t get a signal!

Here are just a few pics I took of the stages. I’ve also got a video of Fat Boy Slim. His set was awesome, never seen him play or heard much of his work but he was very good!
